Scarborough's Reading Rope acts as a simple outline for how the Science of Reading weaves together the various domains of language into instructional practice. The International Dyslexia Association (the who's who for Structured Literacy) defines 5 domains of language that must be included in evidence-based instruction of literacy, 4/5 of these domains can directly be tied to the upper strands of Scarborough's Reading Rope, dispelling any notion that learning to read is a primary concept. This presentation will explore the importance of vocabulary and background knowledge on comprehension, and provide a starting place for practitioners to begin designing instruction in these areas, regardless of the ‘content’ being taught.
