A child reads ‘She bought three apples' as ‘She bought tree apples' and explains it as apples from trees. How would you rate this child's reading skills? Correct Answer She reads without comprehension.

Reading can be defined as the ability to make sense of written or printed words. The reader uses the symbols to activate the information from his memory and subsequently uses this information to arrive at a plausible interpretation of the written words.

• Phonemic awareness is the first part of the reading process as phonemes are the basic units of spoken language.
• Learning to identify the phonemes in a word helps to read fluently and accurately.

Key Points

Reading comprehension or understanding of what is read is the last reading skill and the ultimate goal of reading.

• The other stages that are in between include
  • learning phonics
  • vocabulary building
  • reading fluency
• Once a student can read fluently, then the next step is to develop comprehension skills to understand what is read.

Hence, we can conclude that from the above situation we can analyze that the child reads the sentence without comprehension.

Hint

• She reads with spelling errors: There is no chance that she is committing spelling error because she pronounce three as tree.
