3 Critical Components of Reading that Promote Lifelong Literacy Success

Every child deserves high quality, research-based, data-driven literacy instruction. Literacy is the foundation of all learning: without the ability to read, students will face crippling road blocks in both cross-curricular successes and career readiness. But with a classroom full of diverse learners, each one motivated by and responsive to varying methods of learning, providing that instruction isn’t always easy. That’s why we’ve created the SRA Open Court Reading Foundational Skills Kits, a supplemental or stand alone program that enables teachers to empower students with a core basis for lifelong reading. The program draws upon on critical components of reading, including: phonemic awareness, alphabetic principle, and sound and spelling. Watch our literacy and SRA Open Court Reading national consultant break down each concept.
