5 Major Components of Reading

Playing with Sound
Phonological Processing is the ability to identify and manipulate the individual sounds in language.

Decoding
Students need to learn how to figure out what a word says before they can start making meaning.

Reading Fluency
Decoding needs to become an automatic skill where a person builds the ability to instantly recognize words. But word recognition is not enough! Connections need to be made.

Vocabulary
Provide your student with a language rich environment, and watch their eyes light up with understand-ing!

Comprehension
Comprehension is putting it all together. Students who struggle with reading comprehension need to learn how to ask questions!
