    According to Chall, children start reading to learn between the ages of 8 and 14. This age range is typically when children transition from learning to read to reading to acquire knowledge and information. During this stage, children are able to comprehend more complex texts and use reading as a tool for gaining new knowledge in various subjects.

    • Puncuation

    • Images

    • Grammar

    Correct Answer
    A. Rhyme and alliteration
    Explanation
    In the pre-reading stage, children recognize rhyme and alliteration the most. Rhyme refers to the repetition of similar sounds at the end of words, while alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in neighboring words. Both these literary devices help children develop phonological awareness, which is the ability to recognize and manipulate sounds in spoken language. Rhyme and alliteration make language more engaging and memorable for children, aiding in their early literacy development. They also help children notice patterns in language and develop their listening and speaking skills.
