Question

What always helps a reader understand the central idea of a text?

Answer 1

Answer:

Reading comprehension.

Explanation:

Reading comprehension is the ability to read individual words, sentences and entire texts fluently and to understand them in context. In addition to writing and arithmetic, reading skills are one of the basic skills that should be acquired during primary school and developed by attending secondary schools.

Reading comprehension depends, among other things, on the reading speed and thus to a large extent on the short-term memory and the working memory of the person. Further prerequisites for reading competence are prior knowledge, ability to access lexicals, the availability of vocabulary, motivation and attitudes to reading, as well as knowledge of text characteristics, reading strategies and basic cognitive skills.
