While oral language development is a process that occurs naturally, over time, the written word is a complex human produced system that, therefore, requires a systematic approach to decipher - or read. So says this week's guest on the podcast, Steve Underwood.
In this episode, Underwood, former senior director of professional development with NWEA and founder/CEO of Veritas Educational Consulting, chats with us about how to teach reading systematically through "the science of reading".
I hope that you will listen in to our conversation about the recent reading wars and why the science of reading - as opposed to balanced literacy - is a better approach to teaching reading particularly in the fundamental early years of instruction.
We also discuss the five essential components within the science of reading - phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension, the order in which textbooks should sequence these components, and specific strategies for teaching each component (i.e., sound spelling cards),
We also touch upon how using a systemic approach to teaching reading - such as the science of reading - benefits all young children but especially those with dyslexia and others with special needs.
