What does 'analogy' refer to in reading instruction?

A method of testing reading skills
A connection drawn between letter-sound patterns in previously learned words and those in novel words
A type of word processing
An approach to phonetic analysis

The correct answer is: A connection drawn between letter-sound patterns in previously learned words and those in novel words

In reading instruction, an analogy refers to the connection drawn between letter-sound patterns in previously learned words and those in novel words. This strategy helps students use their existing knowledge of familiar words to decode new words by recognizing similar patterns. For instance, if a student knows the word "cat," they can apply that knowledge to read "hat" or "bat" by focusing on the rhyming structure and the shared sounds. This approach not only aids in word recognition but also enhances overall spelling and vocabulary development by emphasizing the relationships among words. Utilizing analogies encourages active engagement with the text and empowers students to become more confident readers as they encounter unfamiliar words.
