    The Five Essential Areas of Reading and Student Expectancy (The Reading Approach-Knights 2023)

    Literacy development is a multifaceted process that requires systematic, evidence-based instruction. Effective reading instruction integrates phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension—the five essential pillars identified by the National Reading Panel (2000). This research explores structured literacy approaches for various age groups, including those with reading delays, dyslexia, and special needs, using insights from Walpole & McKenna (2017) and Knights (2023).


    1.1 Phonemic Awareness

    Definition: The ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words.

    Age Expectancy:

    Ages 4-6: Identify rhymes, blend sounds, segment words into phonemes.

    Ages 7-9: Advanced phoneme manipulation.

    Reading Delays: Intensive phonemic awareness training with multisensory tools (e.g., Elkonin boxes, auditory blending games).

    Remediation: Direct instruction in phoneme isolation, blending, segmentation.


    1.2 Phonics

    Definition: The relationship between sounds and theircorresponding letters.

    Age Expectancy:

    Ages 4-6: Recognize letter-sound relationships, decode CVC words.

    Ages 7-9: Read complex letter combinations, multisyllabic words.

    Reading Delays: Explicit phonics instruction with systematic, cumulative approaches.

    Remediation: Structured phonics programs incorporating decodable texts.

    1.3 Fluency


    Definition: The ability to read text with accuracy,speed, and proper expression.

    Age Expectancy:

    Ages 5-7: Decode fluently at the sentence level.

    Ages 7-9: Read with prosody and automaticity.

    Reading Delays: Repeated readings, paired reading, and assisted fluency practice.

    Remediation: Modeled reading, fluency drills, and rhythm-based reading activities.

    1.4 Vocabulary

    Definition: Understanding the meaning and effectively using words in spoken and written language.

    Age Expectancy:
    Ages 4-6: Learn high-frequency words, sight words.

    Ages 7-9: Develop morphological awareness, context clues.

    Reading Delays: Explicit vocabulary instruction using direct, multimodal strategies.

    Remediation: Semantic mapping, word webs, and real-world application.

    1.5 Comprehension

    Definition: Understanding and making meaning fromtext.

    Age Expectancy:

    Ages 5-7: Retell stories, answer who/what/where questions.

    Ages 7-9: Infer meaning, analyze main ideas.

    Reading Delays: Scaffolded questioning, graphic organizers.

    Remediation: Think-aloud strategies, guided discussions, and visualization techniques.
