A Balanced Literacy Framework
A Balanced Literacy Framework combines different teaching methods to develop strong reading and writing skills. It balances phonics (learning sounds and letter skills), guided reading (teacher-led activities), independent reading (personal practice), and writing exercises. This approach ensures students understand how to decode words, comprehend texts, and express themselves effectively. By integrating these components, balanced literacy provides a comprehensive approach that supports diverse learning styles, fostering confidence and competence in literacy skills essential for academic and everyday success.
