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.(8 marks)
1. Reading is a complex process that relies on four fundamental elements: phonemic
awareness, phonics, fluency, and comprehension. Phonemic awareness pertains to
the ability to recognize and manipulate individual sounds, or phonemes, in spoken
words. This foundational skill is crucial for developing effective reading and spelling
abilities. Phonics, on the other hand, involves the relationship between these sounds
and their corresponding letters or groups of letters in written language, enabling
readers to decipher words. Fluency encompasses the ability to read text smoothly
and accurately, allowing readers to focus on understanding the content rather than
getting bogged down by decoding words. Lastly, comprehension is the ultimate goal
of reading, representing the ability to understand, interpret, and respond to the text,
which requires a combination of prior knowledge, context, and critical thinking skills.
