This course shows how kindergarten teachers provide systematic, explicit instruction in the skills and strategies necessary for students to be able to read Decodable Books confidently and independently.
Teaching Beginning Reading Skills, Grade K
Decodable Books give students important opportunities to
practice applying the phonics skills they are learning. The
systematic and explicit phonics they are learning helps them
develop skills in recognizing words. Automatic word recognition and
fluency, in turn, relates strongly to comprehension.
