Children in the first three grades who attend private schools spend time each
day working with a computerized reading program. Public schools have very few
such programs. Tests prove, however, that public-school children are much
weaker in reading skills when compared to their private-school counterparts. We
conclude, therefore, that public-school children can be good readers only if
they participate in a computerized reading program.
The author's initial statements logically support his conclusion only if which
of the following is also true?
А) All children can learn to be good readers if they are taught by a
computerized reading program.
В) All children can learn to read at the same rate if they participate in a
computerized reading program.
С) Better reading skills produce better students.
D) Computerized reading programs are the critical factor in the better reading
skills of private-school students.
Е) Public-school children can be taught better math skills.
