The Five Essential Reading Components
1. Phonemic Awareness (individual sounds
in spoken words)
2. Phonics (relationship between individual sounds and the corresponding letters that represent those sounds)
3. Fluency (ability to read text accurately
and quickly by grouping words)
4. Vocabulary (words needed to know to communicate effectively)
5. Text Comprehension (understanding text through purposeful and active reading)
