Basic Reading Skills


Reading requires some basic skills - the set
of abilities and capabilities that allow you
to read. Such skills include the recognition
of lexicon, or words in a particular context,
and their function within a phrase or
sentence, or the abstraction of meaning for
new vocabulary items from sentence
context, before and after the unknown
term(s). This also leads to a general
understanding of the text after which the
reader should be able to recognize topics,
main and supporting ideas, as well as
answer all kinds of questions about the
text he or she reads.
¿Qué es una palabra?
What is a word?
A word is the most basic unit
of meaning speakers can
identify from their language.
Humans put together these
blocks or basic units of
language to build phrases or
sentences.
Words and their categories
Known as “parts of speech,”
words can be classified into
several groups. Sometimes the
ending of a word tells us
which group each word
belongs to, and in other
instances we have to use the
dictionary, or infer the function
or definition of a word from its
position within a sentence.

Verb
“Para entender los verbos, se necesita primero tener en cuenta
los sufijos y los prefijos”
Los prefijos y sufijos son letras o grupos de
letras que se añaden al principio de una palabra
(prefijo) o al final de una palabra (sufijo)
para cambiar el significado y/o función de la palabra.
Muchos prefijos y sufijos tienen raíces latinas. La
comprensión de los diversos significados de prefijos y
sufijos puede ayudarnos a determinar el significado de
palabras nuevas que nos encontremos.
