How many stages are there in the reading process?

Five
Four
Six
Three

The correct answer is: Five

The correct answer is "A. Five." In the reading process, there are typically five stages: pre-reading, reading, responding, exploring, and applying. Each of these stages plays a crucial role in the overall reading comprehension and understanding. Pre-reading helps activate prior knowledge and set a purpose for reading, while the reading stage involves actually decoding the text. Responding refers to reacting to and interpreting the text, exploring involves analyzing and synthesizing the information, and applying means using the information in various ways. It is important for educators to be aware of and guide students through each of these stages to support their reading development effectively.
