SECTION A
QUESTION 1: Identify the four basic elements of reading and provide a brief explanation of each
element.
ANSWER:
Reading involves the integration of four critical elements: graphophonemics, syntax, semantics, and
pragmatics. Each contributes uniquely to the process of decoding and comprehending text.
• Graphophonemics is the study of the relationship between graphemes (letters or symbols) and
phonemes (sounds). This element forms the foundation of phonics, enabling readers to break
down words into their constituent sounds and build them back into coherent forms. For instance,
learning that ‘ch’ in “chair” produces a distinct sound is a fundamental skill in early literacy
development.
• Syntax examines the rules governing the arrangement of words and phrases to form meaningful
sentences. Syntax helps readers discern relationships between sentence components, such as
subjects, verbs, and objects. For example, the sentence “The cat chased the mouse” conveys a
clear action due to its syntactic structure, while rearranging the words would alter or obscure its
meaning.
• Semantics focuses on the meanings of words and sentences. It enables readers to interpret text by
understanding vocabulary, idioms, and figurative language. For example, interpreting the phrase
“It’s raining cats and dogs” relies on semantic understanding to recognize it as an idiom for heavy
rainfall rather than a literal event.
Pragmatics is the study of how
