Requisite Skills (Literacy) refers to:

• A. Literacy skills students will develop and practice during the segment, not prerequisite skills developed beforehand.
• B. The grade level reading level of the student materials.
• C. The vocabulary list to be memorized.
• D. The teacher's ability to read rubrics.

Answer: (A)

Requisite Skills (Literacy) are the literacy abilities students will develop and practice during the instructional segment. They describe the specific reading, writing, speaking, and listening tasks students will perform as they engage with texts and produce evidence-based responses. These skills focus on what students will actually do and demonstrate during the lesson, not on skills they should already have before the lesson. For example, a segment that asks students to read a text, identify the main idea, cite supporting details, and explain how the details support the claim targets practicing extracting information and using textual evidence. It might also require students to articulate their reasoning in a brief written or oral response and to use appropriate academic vocabulary. This differs from prereq skills, which are abilities students bring to the task beforehand, from the grade level of materials, which concerns readability, or from a vocabulary list, which is about memorization rather than active literacy practices, or from the teacher's ability to read rubrics, which relates to the assessment process.
