What does concepts of print refer to?

  1. Understanding how to read fluently

  2. Knowledge about the structure and function of print

  3. Ability to write correctly

  4. A skill in performing phonetic transcriptions

The correct answer is: Knowledge about the structure and function of print

The concept of print encompasses the understanding of the structure and function of printed text. This includes recognizing that printed text carries meaning, understanding the distinction between letters and words, and grasping the organization of text on a page, such as the presence of titles, sentences, and paragraphs. Knowledge of concepts of print also involves understanding that books are read from front to back and that text is read from left to right in languages like English. This foundational knowledge is crucial for early literacy development, as it prepares readers to effectively engage with text. By developing an awareness of how print works, children become more adept at navigating written material, which enhances their reading and comprehension skills as they progress.
