Abstract
Readers for whom English is a second language often misinterpret texts. One source for such errors is failing to accurately recognize phonemic and graphemic features, leading to interpreting a text within a framework not intended by the author. Teachers can help second language readers become more perceptive by preparing students for the material and providing practice in recognizing the text's syntactic connections.
