What instructional strategies can benefit highly proficient readers in developing word analysis skills?

  1. Ignoring word analysis since they are proficient

  2. Using simplistic texts

  3. Breaking words into components and finding relationships

  4. Avoiding complex vocabulary words

The correct answer is: Breaking words into components and finding relationships

Highly proficient readers can benefit from instructional strategies that involve breaking words into components and finding relationships between them. By breaking down words into smaller parts such as prefixes, suffixes, and root words, proficient readers can better understand the structure of words and how they are related to each other. This strategy not only enhances their word analysis skills but also strengthens their overall vocabulary and comprehension abilities. Option A is incorrect because even proficient readers can benefit from further developing their word analysis skills. Option B is incorrect as using simplistic texts may not challenge highly proficient readers enough to enhance their word analysis skills. Option D is incorrect because avoiding complex vocabulary words does not help proficient readers expand their word analysis abilities.
