Wisconsin FORT (Foundations of Reading) Practice Test

In the context of reading instruction, the term "print" refers to the written words on a page. Understanding the meaning of these written words involves comprehension, which is the ability to understand and interpret the text. Therefore, the correct answer is "D. Meaning." Syntax refers to the rules governing the structure of sentences in a language, phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds in spoken words, and neither of these directly relate to understanding the meaning of printed text.
