When we thinking about reading, teachers address or teach five components of reading:

1. Phonemic Awareness
2. Phonics
3. Vocabulary
4. Fluency
5. Comprehension

All these components, when activated and used skillfully by your student, makes them an efficient, skilled reader. This page aims to help you understand what these components are and how to help your child foster these skills at home.
