Explanation: B) Research by Ogden, Brophy, and Evertson (1977) indicated that first graders achieved better when they were called upon to read in a prescribed order. Their interpretation was that the children would spend more time rehearsing when they were aware of the sections that they would be asked to read and would get more practice reading because they were not over-looked.
