The essential components of literacy instruction

Structured literacy

Developmental levels of reading

Developmental levels of writing and word study

Instructional frameworks

Delivery models reading/writing

Assessment

Word study and structured literacy

Differentiating instruction for all

Literacy in the content areas

Vocabulary instruction

Integrating technology into literacy

Differentiate to provide appropriate instruction

Tier 1: Core Tier 2: Small Group Tier 3: one-one

Asset-based approach: what students can do rather than what they can’t/growth mindset

Gradual release of responsibility: “I do” “we do” “you do”

Considerations

cultural context

classroom community

importance of print/digital literacy

Vocabulary

(Taught in context of stories, 3 layers, word structure)

Comprehension

(predicting, questioning, summarizing)
