Which term describes small groups of about four students with the teacher occasionally visiting and the group often peer-led?

• A. Literature Groups
• B. Read Aloud
• C. Shared Reading
• D. Morning Message

Answer: (A)

Small groups of about four students with occasional teacher visits and a peer-led discussion structure. This setup lets students take ownership of conversations about a text, practice turn-taking, questioning, and supporting each other’s understanding, while the teacher drops in to guide thinking and clarify misunderstandings without dominating the discussion. Read Aloud centers on the teacher reading aloud to the class, focusing on listening and fluency; Shared Reading involves the teacher and students reading a text together with guided participation; Morning Message is a daily written note used to model literacy routines. Because it emphasizes small-group collaboration, peer leadership, and intermittent teacher support, the term that fits this description is Literature Groups.
