Which of the following is not a method to look for when dealing with Structural Analysis?

  1. Chunking

  2. Endings

  3. Prefix

  4. Sentences

The correct answer is: Chunking

In the context of reading instruction, structural analysis involves students using their knowledge of word parts (such as prefixes, suffixes, and roots) to decode and understand unfamiliar words. When considering the methods related to structural analysis, chunking involves breaking a word into smaller parts or chunks to help with decoding. However, chunking is more associated with phonics instruction than structural analysis. Therefore, it is not a method typically emphasized for structural analysis. Instead, focusing on identifying word endings, prefixes, and how words are used in sentences are more directly relevant to structural analysis.
