Break The Code for Reading

It is important for the teacher to know and understand the criteria when teaching students to read. For the teacher alone to know it is not sufficient. Students must understand and know what the criteria is and what the teacher expects of them. It is important to know how to demonstrate satisfactory completion of the requirements to become a proficient reader and perform in an excellent way. Whatever the level of the student or the content of the lesson the student should always be able to expect that there will not be any hidden rules. Learning the phonograms is important for teachers and students. Learning the letter sounds we read and write is an important step in become literate and becoming a good reader.  Dr. Levette Thomas
