Which concept refers to recognizing book features, punctuation, and other text features?

• A. Recognition of vocabulary and grammar
• B. Recognition of book cover, punctuation, text features, commas
• C. Understanding of plot and character
• D. Phonemic awareness only

Answer: (B)

Recognizing how a text is laid out and read through its features helps students navigate and understand what they read. This includes noticing the book cover to anticipate content, as well as punctuation and other text features that guide how we read and interpret the text, like where to pause at commas or how captions and headings organize information. The choice that mentions the book cover, punctuation, and text features directly captures this skill and its practical use in reading. Other options focus on word meanings and grammar, the events and people in a story, or sounds in spoken language, which are different literacy skills.
