Essentials for Reading Success
| Components of Reading |
Reading research over the last 20 years has identified the critical skills that students must acquire very early in reading development to ensure that they can read at grade level by third grade. These skills are in the areas of phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency in reading text, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. The development of these skills is critical to getting off to a good start in reading, and we can begin to assess them as early as kindergarten. Students who lag behind in the development of these skills in early elementary school are in danger of not being able to read at grade level by third grade.
