This sequence begins with write-aloud, in which the teacher models writing while verbalizing the thought process. Then it moves to shared writing, where the teacher and students write together, with the teacher still providing significant support. Next is guided writing, where the teacher gradually releases more responsibility to the students. Collaborative/cooperative writing comes next, where students work together in groups to plan and produce writing.

Therefore, option D reflects decreasing teacher support and increasing student independence.
