The audience is made up of educational professionals and does not need to be convinced of the necessity for reading instruction.
Below is an excerpt from a welcome speech given by a principal to teachers of kindergarten, first, and second-grade students at the beginning of a school year.
Teachers, our primary focus this year is going to be on reading. We want students to read at or above their grade levels, which we'll facilitate by teaching the youngest students the alphabet. It is crucial that they know these letters and their associated sounds before proceeding further into the curriculum. Once students know the alphabet, we'll proceed to teaching increasingly difficult words and from there to having them actually read simple books.
What misunderstanding does the principal have about the audience for the speech?
