, Question 1
1.1) I agree, using decoding works step by step. It does not
automatically result in enhanced reading comprehension skills. We
have to begin by developing learner’s vocabulary by explaining
difficult or unknown words. Understanding the meaning of a text
can be difficult at times. We can also find the meaning of a text
through asking questions. Decoding involves reading, asking
questions, giving answers which are meaningful and engaging in
text on a deeper level which helps readers gain a deeper
understanding of the themes or ideas in a text and evaluation of
them. These are the steps that can be used to lead to an
enhanced comprehension skill.
1.2) a- Phonological awareness- this refers to the ability to recognise
the spoke parts of sentences and words, also the ability to identify
words that rhyme, syllable or alliteration. It can enhance reading by
not only hearing different sound but also manipulate sounds in
words. Learners pick up on the rhyme of words and try to make
sense of it or think of other words that rhyme with what they have
read and can help them understand the meaning of the text better.
b) Frame of reference- is how you interpret what you read.
Teachers often introduce the information about time period or the
author basically the world around the story. This enables learners
to take a variety of information and process it based on our own
experience. It promotes quick decision making.
c) images and pictures- picture books are important part of
learning how to read especially in young learners. Pictures make
books fun to read and allows children to learn new words quickly.
