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

Understanding Reading Comprehension Challenges in South
Africa
The 2021 results of the Progress in International Reading Literacy
Study (PIRLS) highlighted significant challenges faced by South
African learners, particularly in reading comprehension. The
alarming statistic that 81% of Grade 4 pupils in South Africa do
not read with comprehension indicates a systemic issue that
can have long-term implications on students’ academic
performance and overall literacy development.
The Importance of Reading Comprehension
Reading comprehension is not merely about decoding words; it
involves understanding, interpreting, and critically engaging with
the text. For learners to progress successfully through their
education, especially into the Senior Phase, they must develop
strong reading skills. This includes:
1. Fluency: The ability to read smoothly and accurately.
2. Vocabulary Development: Understanding the meanings of
words and how they fit into different contexts.
