reading instruction
Phonics and comprehension
Reading instruction is the teaching of skills needed to decode written language—recognizing letters, connecting them to sounds, building vocabulary, and developing comprehension.
The term appears most often in educational contexts and debates about methodology: The school adopted a new approach to reading instruction.
Phonics-based and whole-language approaches represent competing philosophies of reading instruction.
