, Question 1:
1.1. Reasons why I agree that decoding does not automatically result in
enhanced reading comprehension skills are:
Vocabulary:
Although decoding concentrates on word recognition and pronunciation, it
does not always aid students in understanding the meaning of the words. A
solid vocabulary is necessary for reading comprehension in order to

1.2.3. Images and pictures:
By giving context and visual clues, visual aids like photos and images can help
readers understand what they are reading. They aid students in putting the
material into context, drawing connections, and developing a deeper
