reading instruction

Reading instruction involves teaching individuals how to decode and understand written language. It combines skills like recognizing words, understanding vocabulary, and making sense of context. Effective instruction often includes phonics (connecting sounds to letters), sight word recognition, and comprehension strategies. The goal is to develop both accurate word recognition and the ability to interpret and analyze texts, fostering fluent and meaningful reading. Good instruction adapts to learners’ needs, encouraging a love for reading and empowering them to access information and ideas confidently.
