We really need to return to basic in teaching reading especially to non native speakers. It will really help them to learn how to read and write (spell) words.

These are the foundation to reading. If we lay a firm foundation, then it is easier to build further reading skills on them.

I think building the foundation from a young age will allow students to become readers at an earlier age. It is important to continue to emphasize the basics to support our students’ reading success!

I teach the upper intermediate grades. However, every teacher should be familiar with the foundational reading skills.

We use the RR star. Since I teach 4th, I don’t focus on phonemic awareness etc. However, I do have one student who is a non-reader. I work with him doing Florida Research center tools.

I really enjoyed reading this article. All of the teachers in Mississippi have been or are going through the LTRS training. We have all been introduced to the importance of these pillars. I have strong programs of phonemic awareness, phonics, sight word recognition, etc. woven into my curriculum. We practice these every day.

This connects to what we are really focusing on in our district. Helping our teachers truly understand the components to beginning reading. I have shared this article with our learning teams so that they can see the importance of each component. Helping kids have goals that they can work toward really empowers them to be leaders of their own learning! Isn’t that our true goal?

The vocabulary and structural analysis plays a big role in my ELA class as I teach fourth grade and phonics is no longer part of the curriculum. Earlier this week to my students couldn’t find “predawn” in the dictionary and I asked them what “pre” and they knew it meant before. So they analyzed it to mean before dawn. However, I further had them look up the word dawn as the base word and they realized it means before the sun rises.

As a teacher who has taught first grade for 28 years, I appreciate reading and reviewing the components of a quality reading program. It is a skill that is built on other skills. It’s so much easier for children who are able to scaffold these skills to achieve reading success. Thank you for the great article for professional development.

Although I teach upper grades, I still point out, talk about, play with and apply everything here. I think it is important to be aware of these things in order to really understand language. Being i a bilingual community, we even compare English to Spanish spellings and pronunciations.
