2. Scenario: While reading the How I met My Husband by Alice Munroe, there is a specific line that struck and made you think of. The line goes as:

Till it came to me one day there were women doing this with their lives, all over. There were women just waiting and waiting by mail-boxes for one letter or another. I imagined me making this journey day after day and year after year, and my hair starting to go gray, and I thought, I was never made to go on like that. So I stopped meeting the mail if there were women all through life waiting, and women buy and not waiting, I knew which I had to be. Even though there might be things the second kind of women have to pass up.and never know about, it still is better.

— What is the central idea/ theme? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

The spectrum of perspectives on how to develop reading for understanding differs widely, with two extreme positions defining the spectrum. One viewpoint, which we'll call the simple view of reading, maintains that reading comprehension is the result of decoding and listening comprehension. Students in the early grades should acquire all of the letters of the alphabet and their accompanying sounds with a high degree of correctness and automaticity, according to proponents of this position.
