During shared reading, which cognitive working system is being supported by focusing on language structure?

Visual working system
Auditory working system
Phonological working system
Syntactic working system

The correct answer is: Syntactic working system

Focusing on language structure during shared reading primarily supports the syntactic working system. This system deals with the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences. By emphasizing how sentences are constructed, including understanding grammar and the relationships between words, the syntactic working system is engaged. This engagement helps learners grasp how language is used effectively and aids in their overall reading comprehension. The other systems, while they may intersect with aspects of language, do not specifically focus on the structural elements of language in the same way. The visual working system pertains to visual processing, the auditory working system to sounds and auditory perception, and the phonological working system is primarily concerned with the sound structures of words. While all these systems are crucial in the reading process, the emphasis on language structure distinctly aligns with the syntactic working system.
