Which practice involves outlining, highlighting, or bolding important parts to support comprehension?

• A. Realia
• B. Accommodation
• C. Context clues
• D. Adapting text

Answer: (D)

Adapting text involves modifying the material itself to support comprehension—like outlining, highlighting, or bolding key parts. These edits help students see the structure, identify main ideas, and track important details more easily, reducing cognitive load as they read. The other strategies focus on different approaches: using real objects (realia) to connect to content, using context clues to infer meaning from surrounding text, or making accommodations that adjust support or access rather than the text itself.
