SECTION ARead the questions below carefully and write all your responses in paragraph
form.
QUESTIONS
1. Identify the four basic elements of reading and provide a brief explanation of
each element. Do not simply duplicate the information in your study guide –
your explanations should be phrased in your own words and demonstrate your
own understanding of the concepts.
Graphophonemics, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics
Graphophonemics- This element involves the relationship between letters (graphemes)
and sounds (phonemes). It focuses on how sounds are represented in written form and
is often the foundational step in teaching reading. Understanding this element helps
readers decode written words by connecting visual symbols to their corresponding
sounds. For instance, recognizing the sound associated with the letter "b" helps learners
form words like "bat" or "ball."
Syntax- Syntax refers to the rules of grammar and sentence structure that dictate how
words are arranged to convey meaning. It ensures that sentences are logically
constructed, enabling readers to identify the roles and relationships of words within a
sentence. For example, understanding syntax helps readers place adjectives before
nouns ("a beautiful day") or recognize subject-verb agreement ("She runs every
morning").
Semantics- This element is about deriving meaning from words, sentences, and overall
text. It involves understanding the definitions and connotations of words, as well as how
they contribute to the message of the text. When encountering unfamiliar words, readers
may use context clues or substitute words to maintain comprehension without
interrupting the reading flow.
