  • Curriculum
  • Instruction
  • Assessment

Teaching Approaches

  • Explicit approach: a direct method, involving directly stating rules.
  • Implicit approach: uses language in context, providing examples before rules, for student learning.

Graphophonic Correspondence

  • Involves sound-letter association.

Critical Phonemic Awareness Skills

  • Sound Isolation
  • Blending
  • Segmenting

Linguistic Cueing Systems

  • Semantic
  • Syntactic
  • Graphophonic

Reading Levels

  • Independent: Accuracy is 95% and above, with comprehension at 90% and above
