Which is NOT a feature associated with texts for early reading stages?

  1. Longer sentences

  2. More pages per book

  3. Complete reliance on picture clues

  4. More print than texts for emergent readers

The correct answer is: Complete reliance on picture clues

The correct answer focuses on the misconception that early reading texts should completely rely on picture cues. In fact, while picture clues can help support understanding for young readers, effective texts for early reading stages balance visual support with text-based information. These texts are designed to gradually introduce children to decoding words and understanding written language without requiring them to depend solely on illustrations for comprehension. In early reading stages, features such as shorter sentences, fewer pages, and a manageable amount of print are typically emphasized to build confidence and fluency in reading. Longer sentences, more pages, and excessive print can overwhelm emergent readers and distract from their development of decoding skills and text comprehension.
