Part one: Glossary
Phonics:
This speaks to the correspondence between sounds and letters, which is essential to both writing and reading.
Morphology This field of research examines word structure, including suffixes, roots, and prefixes.
Syntax:
This is a reference to the rules that specify how sentences should be put together in a specific language, such as word order and punctuation.
Semantics:
This is the study of the meaning of language, which includes the meaning of words, phrases, and sentences as a whole.
Pragmatics: This speaks to the social rules of language, such as appropriate language use in certain situations.
Vocabulary:
The vocabulary that an individual is familiar with and comprehends is referred to here.
Comprehension
: This is the fluidity and ease with which one can write, speak, or read.
Literacy:
This is the capacity to decipher and make sense of what is heard or read.
. Oral Language:
This is the capacity for reading, writing, comprehending, and interpreting written language.
Written Language:
This is the capacity to articulate ideas and thoughts in written form.
Alphabet Knowledge
: This is the knowledge of the alphabet's letters, their names, and their sounds.
Print Awareness This
is the comprehension of print, encompassing text direction and word and letter concepts.
Emergent Literacy
: This refers to the information and abilities—vocabulary, print awareness, and oral language, for example—that come before formal reading and writing training.
Science of Reading-
a sizable corpus of multidisciplinary, academically grounded research on reading and reading-related problems.
Scarborough’s Reading Rope-
There are two strands in the Reading Rope: upper and lower. With experience and repetition, the word identification threads of phonological awareness, decoding, and sight
recognition of familiar words come together to make the reader more precise, proficient, and effortless.
Phonics-
A system of alphabetical writing that gives sounds to specific letters or groups of letters in reading training.
Phonological awareness-
The foundation for word reading, decoding, and blending is the understanding
of and proficiency with spoken language sounds.

Reading instruction for young children requires that they first understand the mechanics of words. All words are composed of smaller sound units called phonemes, which they need to comprehend. The chance that a kid may experience reading difficulties in the future is highly connected with their early levels of phonological and phonemic awareness. Given that the sounds of written and spoken words are similar, studying phonology is essential to reading. To get from the written to the spoken word (reading) or from the spoken to the written word (listening), readers must understand the relationship between letters, letter combinations, and speech sounds (spelling) (Osborne et al., 2019). The ability to recognize phonemes is a good predictor of future spelling and reading comprehension. Children who are not as proficient readers as they could be are more likely to have poor phonological awareness than strong phonological awareness. Students need to have a basic understanding of how syllables work and how words sound in order to complete these tasks.
Understanding the sounds that comprise each word is necessary if you want to combine sounds to get ready for reading and break words down into sounds to get ready for spelling. A range of exercises, games, songs, and nursery rhymes can be used to teach young children these ideas (Heggerty,
2020). Educators and parents can also use the Scarborough reading rope to ensure that their kids are taught all aspects of literacy. Hanson (2022) suggests that reading rope is a useful tool for teaching each strand in tandem with the others. An excellent example of the challenges involved in reading is Scarborough's rope. Two separate readings are shown on the Scarborough Reading Rope. levels.
Combining these attributes yields a reading that is accurate, fluid, and expressive. (also easily comprehended) (Kerns, 2021).
