What is self-monitoring in reading comprehension?

  1. A meaningful linguistic unit that cannot be divided into smaller meaningful elements

  2. The ability to relate new words to known words

  3. The initial part of a word that precedes the vowel

  4. A suffix that changes the form or function of a word but not its basic meaning

The correct answer is: The ability to relate new words to known words

Self-monitoring in reading comprehension refers to the reader's ability to assess their own understanding of the text as they read. It involves continuously checking comprehension by relating new information to what is already known. This process allows the reader to adjust their reading strategies if they realize they are not fully understanding the text, enhancing overall comprehension and retention. In contrast, the other options provided do not accurately represent the concept of self-monitoring in reading comprehension.
