New Posters - 5 Parts of Reading

Expect New Posters

New posters will be available. I'm working on 2 sets both targeting literacy. The first showcases the 5 components of reading. I believe in being upfront with my students, and let them know why we do what we do. Especially for my students with learning disabilities. They need to know why they are practicing words that are smaller than the words their peers are reading. So, I introduce the 5 components of reading, which can be found in the Reading First Pamphlet.

The five components are:

1. Phonemic Awareness
2. Phonics
3. Fluency
4. Vocabulary
5. Comprehension

In a few days I will post student friendly posters that can be downloaded and used at your discretion.

I usually use these posters in on of my opening lessons at the beginning of the year. This is actually a 2nd of 2 opening lessons. I'm still working on tweaking the first of my opening lessons, because I want to make sure my lesson is aligned with the new components of the core for Language Arts.

Look for that next.
