Reading Viewpoints Points for Agreement

1. Reading is the ability to decode Because decoding is a key skill for learning
unfamiliar words to read. It requires both knowledge of letter-
sound relationships, as well as an ability to
apply that knowledge to successfully identify
written words and make meaning.

concentration.

knowledge and set a purpose for reading.
