The Science of Reading
The Science of Reading is:
​
- the current research that helps to define what works best for reading instruction.
​
- a basic way to show how the parts of reading instruction need to work together.
​
- built on the same important ideas that are the foundation for ReVAMP Reading.
Summary of How ReVAMP Matches up with The Science of Reading
The structured, sequenced, multi-sensory, and science-based instruction involves:
​
Phonological Awareness
- Learning how the mouth moves when we make the sounds of our language.
- Learning how to change sounds within words to improve reading and spelling.
​
Decoding and Spelling
- Carefully matching those sounds with letters and letter combinations.
​
Sight Recognition
- Analyzing words based on what we have learned to grow sight word vocabulary.
​
Vocabulary Knowledge / Morphology
- Building words with word parts, and then applying word parts to deepen meaning.
​
Fluency
- Sequenced process that brings together all other aspects of the reading process.
​
Comprehension instruction
- Including: visualizing, inferring, making connections, deep text analysis & more.
