Anytime strategies that prepare and empower students to engage with complex texts, practice reading fluency, and improve comprehension

Science of Reading models encompass five key areas: phonics, phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. While many initiatives focus heavily on phonics and phonemic awareness, the corpus of research indicates that effective grade 4-12 classroom instruction encompasses all five aspects of reading.
