Phonemic Awareness: The Foundation of Reading
Phonemic awareness refers to the ability to identify and manipulate individual sounds within spoken words. It is a crucial skill for developing phonics, the understanding that letters represent sounds. One effective way to enhance phonemic awareness is through phonological activities such as rhyming games, sound isolation exercises, and blending and segmenting sounds.
Phonics: Decoding the Written Word
Phonics involves linking letters to their corresponding sounds to decode written words. Explicit phonics instruction teaches children the relationship between graphemes (letters) and phonemes (sounds). Through systematic phonics lessons, children learn to sound out words phonetically, building a solid foundation for word recognition and reading fluency.

Fluency: Reading with Speed and Accuracy
Fluency refers to the ability to read smoothly, accurately, and with good expression. It is essential for comprehension and reading enjoyment. To develop fluency, children need ample opportunities to practice reading aloud, receive feedback on their reading, and engage in repeated readings.
Vocabulary: Expanding Language Horizons
A rich vocabulary empowers children to express themselves effectively and comprehend complex texts. Expanding vocabulary involves introducing new words, teaching their meanings, and providing opportunities to use them in context. Word walls, flashcards, interactive games, and storytelling are effective strategies for building a robust vocabulary.
Comprehension: Understanding What is Read
Comprehension, the ability to understand and make meaning from written text, is the ultimate goal of reading. To foster comprehension, children need to develop strategies such as prediction, summarizing, questioning, and making connections. Teachers can support comprehension through guided reading, discussions, and writing activities.
