When we think of reading comprehension we should first start with the understanding of the Simple View of Reading (Gough & Tunmer, 1986), consisting of two essential components for learning to read, Language Comprehension and Word Recognition. Word Recognition has been covered in our previous podcasts of Phonemic Awareness and Phonics and in this episode we share with you some skills, elements, and components of Language Comprehension using the framework of the Simple View of Reading.

2021/01/23

In Episode #54 we take a close look at Fluency, the often neglected component of a reading program. It is overlooked because it isn't a stand alone variable. Fluency is a culmination of successful orthographic mapping skills, prosody (intonation and expression) and comprehension. It also looks different in each grade level due to the developmental nature of the ‘learning to read’ process. Join me as I unpack each component of Fluency and load you up with strategies to use in your classroom today

Research shows that Phonemic Awareness is a strong predictor of long term reading and spelling success. “It can predict literacy performance more accurately than intelligence, vocabulary knowledge and socio economic status” (Gillon, 2004) Episode #52 takes a close look at Phonemic Awareness, as this skill is a very crucial component that many teachers and commercial programs often overlook. While we use our eyes to read, the true starting point for reading is speech sounds. Phonemic awareness is
