If a child reads 'The horse galloped through the field' as 'The pony galloped through the field', which cueing system was primarily used?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Meaning (semantic) cue

  1. Step 1: 'Pony' and 'horse' share near-identical meaning in this context, demonstrating strong comprehension of the passage. Step 2. However, 'pony' does not visually resemble 'horse', confirming that the error was driven by meaning (semantics). Answer: Meaning (semantic) cue. Why not the others: Visual cues would produce words starting with 'h' (e.g. house); phonetic decoding would sound out h-o-r-s-e.
