Summary
- Word-Level reading skills are based upon phonological/phonemic skills
- Poor access to phonemes in spoken words negatively affects reading development
- Such difficulties affects phonic development, sight word acquisition, and fluency
- ELs generally respond well to high-quality word-level reading instruction
- Intervention and instruction that is consistent with a scientific understanding of reading has far greater outcomes than intervention and instruction that is inconsistent with research
