Which of the following is NOT a concept of print?

  1. Holding a book the right way

  2. Reading left to right, top to bottom

  3. Identifying the main character in a story

  4. Understanding that books have a front and back

The correct answer is: Identifying the main character in a story

Identifying the main character in a story is a comprehension skill rather than a concept of print. Concepts of print are foundational understandings that help learners interact with written text. These concepts include the physical aspects of books and the standard way that text is organized. For example, holding a book the right way helps readers physically access and engage with the content. Reading from left to right and top to bottom refers to the directional flow of text in most languages, which is essential for understanding how to read. Additionally, knowing that books have a front and back assists in recognizing the structure and organization of a book. All these aspects are crucial for developing print awareness, which is a precursor to effective reading skills. In contrast, identifying the main character requires higher-order thinking and comprehension, indicating that it is not a basic concept of print.
