Directed Reading-Thinking Activity (DR-TA) is described as having how many phases?

• A. DRA
• B. DR-TA
• C. Internal Consistency
• D. Concurrent Validity

Answer: (B)

Directed Reading-Thinking Activity is a reading strategy that breaks instruction into three phases: before reading, during reading, and after reading. In the before-reading phase, students activate prior knowledge and generate predictions; during reading, they monitor comprehension and test ideas against the text; after reading, they reflect, summarize, and discuss what was learned. The item asks about having phases, and the option that names this specific strategy is the best fit because DR-TA is built around this three-phase approach. The other terms refer to a different reading assessment or to test properties (reliability and validity) rather than a structured, multi-phase instructional framework.
