Because english does not have direct phoneme/grapheme (sound/letter) correspondance, decoding English words while reading for meaning is an extraordinarily difficult task that many have not mastered by adulthood. Many of my A2 class commented really well on the ideas from the Children of the Code video I showed you last time about the importance of maintaining children's enthusiasm for reading (Dr G Reid Lyon) and this really digs into why so many get frustrated. Six minutes worth spending and make notes of any sparkly quotes.
