Solution

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: "A read-aloud of the textbook can be best done in a library."
This statement is NOT true about using the library at the primary level.
Explanation:
1. At the primary level, the library should be viewed as a dynamic learning space that fosters curiosity, imagination, and a love of reading. It should not be limited to routine classroom activities like reading aloud from the textbook.
2. The primary goal of a library is to introduce children to a variety of books, including picture books, storybooks, informational books, and poetry.
3.It should be a place where children can explore books freely, develop reading habits, and build comprehension through engaging and enjoyable material.
4 . Textbook read-alouds are more suitable for the classroom, as they are often focused on curriculum delivery rather than fostering a love for reading.
