Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Play is essential in the lives of young children.

Answer to Question 2

In this book the term refers to the acquisition of meaning from a written text. While learning the alphabet, sight words, and phonics is helpful, reading is really all about the concept of deriving meaning from the words written on a page. Furthermore, reading is intertwined with other language modes (i.e., oral language, listening, writing) in such a way that it does not normally exist as a single skill. Researchers have known for some time that reading also involves an interaction between the reader and the text being read. That is, the reader brings background experiences to the reading that influence the understanding the reader has of the text.
