Second, effective reading instruction is comprehensive. It addresses all the dimensions of reading and is responsive to the strengths and needs of individual students, which include intentional instruction in phonemic awareness and phonics. However, a comprehensive instructional approach also involves oral language development, writing and spelling, and a focus on comprehensionall of which are necessary to support and assist students in becoming independent readers.

Instruction that focuses on word reading alone contributes to the knowledge gap that is now known to be at the root of later reading difficulties. (p. 4) See more
