QUESTION 1 – READING
According to the 2021 results of the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS),
South African learners lack proper reading skills. It is said that 81% of Grade 4 pupils in South
Africa do not read with comprehension (Roux, 2023). The possibility is that learners will
struggle with reading by the time they get to Senior Phase and you, as a Senior Phase teacher,
will thus have to put in a lot of effort to ensure not only fluent reading, but also reading with
comprehension.
Read the following story titled The Necklace, by Guy de Maupassant, and answer the questions
that will follow about reading and viewing:
1.1 In light of the above statement by the Progress in International Reading and Literacy Study
(PIRLS) that South African learners lack proper reading skills and that 81% of Grade 4 pupils in
South Africa do not read with comprehension (Roux, 2023), explain and demonstrate with a few
examples extracted from the story The Necklace, by Guy de Maupassant, how you would teach
intensive reading for comprehension at a word level. (10)
1.2 Explain and demonstrate with a few examples extracted from the story The Necklace, by
Guy de Maupassant, how you would teach intensive reading for comprehension at a sentence and
paragraph level. (10)
1.3 Explain and demonstrate with a few examples extracted from the story The Necklace, by
Guy de Maupassant, how you would teach intensive reading for comprehension at whole text
, level. (10)

To address the lack of proper reading skills among South African learners as highlighted by the
PIRLS 2021 results, it is essential to implement effective strategies for teaching intensive reading
for comprehension. Using "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant as a reference, here are
detailed explanations and examples for teaching reading comprehension at different levels:
### 1.1 Teaching Intensive Reading for Comprehension at a Word Level
**Explanation:**
At the word level, the focus is on understanding the meaning of individual words, recognizing
word forms, and appreciating connotations and nuances. Strategies include vocabulary building,
context clues, and word analysis.
**Examples from "The Necklace":**
1. **Vocabulary Building:**
- Extract key vocabulary from the text, such as "exquisite," "prospects," and "distress." Provide
definitions, use the words in sentences, and discuss synonyms and antonyms.
