Understanding Reading Instruction
Reading is broken down into five main areas: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. According to the National Reading Panel , it’s important to understand these 4 different parts of reading and how they work together.
Phonological/ Phonemic Awareness- Phonological awareness is the ability to hear, recognize, and play with the sounds in spoken language. Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, recognize, and play with the individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words. By second grade, most children have mastered the more basic skills, including rhyming, syllables, alliteration, and breaking a sentence into words.
Phonics- Reading instruction that focuses on the alphabetic principle — the systematic, predictable relationship between spoken sounds (phonemes) and written letters (graphemes) — to allow readers to identify or “decode” words. Decoding is the ability to translate a word from print to speech by using your knowledge of sound–symbol (letter) correspondences.
Fluency- Fluency is the ability to read a text accurately, at a good pace, and with proper expression and comprehension.
Language Comprehension- Language comprehension is the ability to understand the different elements of spoken or written language, like the meaning of words and how words are put together to form sentences. Language comprehension is one of the building blocks of reading comprehension.
Reading Comprehension- Comprehension is the understanding and interpretation of what is read. To be able to accurately understand written material, children need to be able to (1) decode what they read; (2) make connections between what they read and what they already know; and (3) think deeply about what they have read.
