Why is it important for children to have reading materials in which they make no more than 2–4 word errors per 100 words?

What will be an ideal response?


Selecting a text for or by a student at a "just right" level of challenge will prevent word identification from overwhelming the reader. As a rule of thumb, a reader should encounter no more than four errors per hundred words of text. This maximum number of errors provides opportunities for a reader to be strategic in using word identification strategies and does not present so many roadblocks that meaning (and a student's enjoyment of reading) is sacrificed.
