The Science of Reading is a body of research that gives educators insight into how students learn to read and become successful readers. Applying the Science of Reading, Scarborough’s Reading Rope, and the Simple View on Reading is essential when planning and implementing quality literacy instruction. Understanding the essential components of literacy and how those components weave together to form skilled reading can support educators in providing effective literacy instruction.

Part 1: GoReact Presentation

Create an 8-12 slide digital presentation that can be used to provide educators with information on the essential components of literacy. You will narrate your presentation through GoReact by using the screen share function. You must have your camera on during the narrated presentation. Include the following in your presentation:

• Brief overview of the Science of Reading, Scarborough’s Reading Rope, and the Simple View of Reading.
• Explanation of how language comprehension and decoding support reading comprehension and lead to students becoming skilled readers.
• An overview of the components of literacy based on Science of Reading research (i.e., phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension).
• Description of how the components are interrelated and potential effects on reading success if students experience difficulties in a component.
• Provide at least two suggestions for the classroom learning environment that would support the literacy components and literacy instruction.
