__The Five Components of Reading __

Fluency-Recognizing words in a text rapidly and accurately and using phrasing and emphasis in a way that makes what is read sound like spoken language.

Vocabulary-Words we need to know to communicate with others.

Comprehension- Constructing meaning that is reasonable and accurate by connecting what has been read to what the reader already knows and thinking about all of this information until it is understood.

Phonemic Awareness- the understanding that spoken words are made up of separate units of sound that are blended together when words are pronounced.

Phonics- a set of rules that specify the relationship between letters in the spelling of words and the sounds of spoken language.
