Claim: Azerbaijan has those who can read.
Evidence: It has a high rate of economic development and literacy , as well as a low rate of unemployment.
The key to literacy is reading development , a progression of skills that begins with the ability to understand spoken words and decode written words , and culminates in the deep understanding of text.
Literacy is traditionally understood as the ability to read , write , and use arithmetic.
Reading development involves a range of complex language underpinnings including awareness of speech sounds -LRB- phonology -RRB- , spelling patterns -LRB- orthography -RRB- , word meaning -LRB- semantics -RRB- , grammar -LRB- syntax -RRB- and patterns of word formation -LRB- morphology -RRB- , all of which provide a necessary platform for reading fluency and comprehension.
