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.

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

and demonstrate with a few examples extracted from the story The Necklace, by Guy

contextual clues from the sentence or surrounding text.

for key vocabulary.
Examples from The Necklace:
