Answer: (A)

Think-Aloud is a modeling strategy where the teacher verbalizes their thinking as they solve a problem or interpret a text. By hearing the exact steps, questions, and checks the teacher uses, students see how to approach tasks, monitor understanding, and choose strategies for themselves. In literacy, a think-aloud might include predicting what a passage will discuss, noting questions that arise, clarifying confusing parts, summarizing progress, and deciding what to do next. This makes thinking visible and helps students imitate the same reasoning processes when they read or analyze what they’re working on. Other options point to an outcome or a specific skill rather than the act of modeling cognitive processes through spoken thought, so they don’t capture the described strategy as directly.
