5 Critical Areas of Reading Instruction -ANSWER-1. Phonemic
awareness : is commonly defined as the understanding that spoken
words are made up of separate units of sound that are blended
together when words are pronounced.
For example, hearing and saying that the word cat has three sounds,
or phonemes /k/ /a/ /t/ is an example of phonemic awareness skill.
2. Phonics : a set of rules that specify the relationship between letters
in the spelling of words and the sounds of spoken language.
3. Fluency : recognizing the words in a text rapidly and accurately and
using phrasing and emphasis in a way that makes what is read sound
like spoken language.
4. Vocabulary: words we need to know to communicate with others.
There are four types of vocabulary:
a.) listening: words we understand when others talk to us
, b.) speaking: words we use when we talk to others
c.) reading: words we know when we see them in print (sight words
and words we can decode)
d.) writing: words we use when we write
Listening and speaking vocabularies are sometimes referred to
collectively as oral vocabulary.
5. Comprehension : constructing meaning that is reasonable and
accurate by connecting what has been read to what the reader
already knows and thinking about all of this information until it is
understood. Comprehension is the final goal of reading instruction
