Which aspect is critical for transitional/fluent readers in reading comprehension?

  1. Understanding character motives

  2. Analyzing the structure of writing

  3. Multi syllable word identification

  4. Differentiating between fiction and non-fiction

The correct answer is: Multi syllable word identification

The critical aspect for transitional/fluent readers in reading comprehension is multi-syllable word identification. As readers develop from early stages to more advanced levels, their ability to recognize and decode multi-syllable words becomes increasingly important. This skill allows them to approach more complex texts with confidence, facilitating better understanding of the content. Transitional and fluent readers are expected to independently tackle various texts, and being able to break down larger, multi-syllabic words enhances their vocabulary and comprehension skills. Mastery in this area supports overall reading fluency, which is essential for comprehending longer and more sophisticated pieces of writing.
