A Simple View of Reading: a booklet for you!
Unlock the secrets of reading: what skills are involved and how do learners gradually become efficient and effective readers? Reading is an intricate tapestry woven from various skills, each contributing to the mastery of literacy.
This guide delves into the three pivotal layers that merge into a single process:
- Word mastery: phonic decoding and whole word recognition;
- Sentence navigation: cueing and interpreting challenging words through the lens of context;
- Textual insight: gaining a profound understanding of diverse texts.
This enlightening booklet explains the reading process at each of these three essential levels and acts as a roadmap to making reading a universal skill: highlighting the natural progression of writing and spelling. So read on and find out how to make literacy, especially reading, fully accessible for all young learners.
