What is the main goal of instruction in reading?

Teach children to become independent readers
Help children to write essays
Improve children's penmanship
Teach children to memorize texts

The correct answer is: Teach children to become independent readers

The main goal of instruction in reading is to teach children to become independent readers. This means that the focus is on enabling students to develop the skills and strategies needed to comprehend and analyze text on their own, without constant guidance or support. Independence in reading allows students to engage with a wide variety of texts, think critically about the content, and ultimately become lifelong learners. This goal aligns with research-based best practices that emphasize fostering reading proficiency and a love of reading in students. The other options are not the main goals of reading instruction and do not address the overall objective of developing independent readers.
