QUESTION 1:
1.1 Explain why reading is so important in the foundation phase.
Reading is important in the foundation phase because it lays the groundwork for a
child's overall academic success. It not only helps children develop their language
and literacy skills but also enhances their cognitive abilities, expands their
vocabulary, and improves their concentration and attention span. Reading also
exposes children to different ideas, cultures, and perspectives, fostering empathy
and critical thinking skills.
1.2 Rule and Land (2017:2) state that “most South African children do not learn
to read well.” Justify the reason for their statement.
Rule and Land (2017) state that most South African children do not learn to read well
due to various factors such as limited access to quality reading materials,
overcrowded classrooms, lack of trained teachers, and insufficient support from the
education system. Additionally, many children come from disadvantaged
backgrounds where literacy and language development may not be adequately
supported at home.
