Assertion (A) : Children who are struggling with dyslexia have trouble in phonological processing that makes it hard to decode words.
Reason (R) : All children benefit from being encouraged in their areas of interest and ability.

Choose the correct option :

  • A.(A) is true but (R) is false.
  • B.Both (A) and (R) are false.
  • C.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  • D.Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Answer: D

Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

(A) is true: dyslexia is a specific learning disability rooted mainly in phonological processing, the ability to link sounds with letters, which makes decoding words hard.

(R) is also true: every child, including a child with dyslexia, benefits from being encouraged in areas of interest and ability. But it says nothing about why dyslexic children struggle to decode words. It is a general principle of good teaching, not the cause of the difficulty in (A), so it does not explain (A).
