What is the goal of structural analysis in reading?

  1. Breaking down sentences

  2. Strategy use for reading longer words

  3. Learning definitions

  4. Reading speed

The correct answer is: Strategy use for reading longer words

The goal of structural analysis in reading is to provide strategies for readers to decode and understand longer, unfamiliar words by breaking them down into meaningful parts such as prefixes, suffixes, and root words. By using structural analysis, readers can enhance their word recognition skills and improve their overall comprehension by identifying the meaning of complex words based on their structural components. This strategy is particularly useful when encountering multisyllabic words that may be challenging to read or understand at first glance.
