Not listed as a focus in coping with dyslexia?

• A. Receptive language
• B. Expressive language
• C. Metacognition
• D. Phonology

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is how students cope with dyslexia in their daily learning. Coping-focused supports emphasize strategies that help a student manage reading tasks, understand spoken language, and regulate their approach to learning. Receptive language (understanding spoken language) and expressive language (sharing thoughts and ideas) are practical supports for comprehension and communication in classroom tasks. Metacognition, or thinking about one’s own thinking, helps students plan, monitor, and adjust their reading strategies in real time—an essential coping skill.

Phonology, the sound system of a language, is foundational to reading difficulties and is typically addressed through targeted, explicit instruction aimed at improving decoding and phonemic awareness. It’s more about remediation of the underlying processing than a coping strategy the student uses day to day. That’s why it isn’t listed as a coping focus in this context.
