The Science of Reading

The Science of Reading is an evidence-based approach to teaching reading that emphasizes explicit instruction in phonemic and phonological awareness through phonics instruction. Instead of using books with repeating patterns, a main component of Balanced Literacy, students develop fluency and apply phonics knowledge with decodable texts.

Primary teachers play an important role in helping students developing phonemic awareness. Pre-k and kindergarten is a prime time for children to begin making the connection of letters to sounds. Activities like rhyming games and sound blending practice can help students develop crucial phonemic awareness skills that they will use later when decoding and reading for comprehension.

Build the confidence of students by incorporating decodable texts and poems into your reading instruction. Decodable texts are books designed with familiar phonetic patterns that allow readers to decode words using their phonological awareness. Students love decodable texts because they encourage successful, independent reading and give students the opportunity to practice blending and segmenting.
