How can we teach all children to read accurately, rapidly and with comprehension by the end of third grade? Decades of scientific research clearly shows effective reading instruction addresses five critical areas: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. During this 1-hour webinar recording from Tuesday, June 15, 2021, reading specialist, Meagan Rosales, walks us through these five components, how they work with each other and how they apply to students who have communication delays and learning differences.
