Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Common Core State Standards encourage students to read challenging fiction and nonfiction, which means that students must be able to comprehend complex texts. Therefore, teachers have placed greater emphasis upon text complexity. Phonemic awareness (A) is important for early reading skills, but it is not directly related to challenging fiction and nonfiction texts. Text-dependent questions (B) are a useful teaching tool for promoting close reading, but they are not specifically tied to challenging texts. Narrative texts (D) are still important, but the emphasis is on students being able to read a range of fiction and nonfiction texts with different structures and purposes.
