Southern Cross Public School Reading Professional Learning
Improving student reading growth and attainment of outcomes is a whole school PDP goal. This is one of the focus areas of our strategic directions in the school plan for 2021 - 2024.
In order to achieve this we will continue to:
Provide professional learning regarding science and evidence-based practices related to reading
Be guided by our assessment data to inform future teaching and learning
Map the progress of our students in reading
Provide tiered interventions to support students
This site is one way we will be providing you with professional learning regarding effective classroom practices related to reading. Information and strategies that can be found in the text, 'The Art and Science of Teaching Primary Reading' by Christopher Such, are outlined on this site. Additional information complementing the detailed practices will also be included for you to further enhance your understanding of the teaching of reading.
Simple View of Reading
The Simple View of Reading (SVR) was proposed by researchers Gough and Tunmer in 1986. It was developed to reconcile “The Reading Wars” argument of the 1980s, between advocates of bottom up processing (decoding) and those who supported top down processing (language comprehension.) The Simple View of Reading shows us that, while reading is a complex activity, it can be represented as two interdependent processes; word recognition (decoding) - the ability to work out the sounds represented by written words and language comprehension - the ability to interpret what the words mean individually and together. Given that skilled reading was considered to be impossible if either component was entirely lacking, it was expressed as the following equation:
Decoding (D) x Language Comprehension (LC) = Reading Comprehension (RC)
(Orton Gillingham and Christopher Such)

Decoding and language comprehension explain almost all of the variation between people's ability to read. The simple view is, in short, a useful way to think about reading, especially due to the way in which it makes clear the need for fluent decoding.

SCARBOROUGH'S READING ROPE
Hollis Scarborough (2001), an eminent developmental psychologist and reading researcher, depicted the attainment of fluent reading as the progressive interweaving of strands or subskills in a rope. Each major domain of the Simple View of Reading - word recognition and language comprehension - includes strands that are definable, measurable and somewhat independent.
