Print concepts include which understanding?

• A. Understanding author bios
• B. How to hold a book, read left to right, and top to bottom
• C. Plot twists in a story
• D. Making inferences from a paragraph

Answer: (B)

Print concepts are about how printed text is organized and how a reader interacts with a book. This includes knowing how to hold the book, where to start reading, and the direction you move when reading—usually left to right across lines and top to bottom. This foundational understanding helps a beginning reader navigate the page and move through text before ever decoding individual words. The other ideas are about content or interpretation—author bios relate to who wrote the book, plot twists are about what happens in the story, and making inferences is about drawing conclusions from the text. Those skills come after or alongside print concepts, which focus on the mechanics of reading and how books are laid out.
