class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A <strong>reference book in a lesson plan<\/strong> serves as a credible source that supports the content being taught. These are not just any books, but curated academic, subject-specific, or curriculum-approved materials that reinforce learning objectives.
