What does structural analysis in reading primarily focus on?

  1. Understanding the context of a narrative

  2. Examining the roles of characters in a story

  3. Breaking down words into their morphological components

  4. Identifying the main themes in the text

The correct answer is: Breaking down words into their morphological components

Structural analysis in reading primarily focuses on breaking down words into their morphological components. This involves analyzing the structure of words by looking at prefixes, suffixes, and root words, which helps readers understand their meanings and how they function within sentences. By engaging in structural analysis, learners can enhance their vocabulary, improve decoding skills, and develop a deeper understanding of the nuances in word meanings. This process is particularly beneficial for readers as they encounter unfamiliar words, allowing them to infer meaning and make connections to known vocabulary. It emphasizes the relationship between word structure and meaning, creating a foundational skill for proficient reading and comprehension.
