These activities are designed for teaching students to correlate sounds with letters or groups of letters; and awareness of the phonological structure, or sound structure, of words.
These strategies focus on improving the student's ability to process text, understand its meaning, and to integrate with what the reader already knows.
This evidence-based practice targets the student's ability to read with speed, accuracy, and proper expression. Fluent reading is important to comprehending the text, and preparing students for higher level reading.
These exercises aim to expand the number of words the child knows and understands, both reading and listening. Developing a wider vocabulary enables students to understand gradually more complex texts.
