For a child to read effectively, he must grasp the

5 Big Ideas of Reading, which are phonemic awareness,

phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.

As discussed last week, children should have knowledge in structures of language.

A skill that children need to have to read effectively is a strong grasp of recognizing letters. Once they can recognize letters efficiently they can determine what sounds are associated with each letter. They can continue to build on this basic foundation.

A skill a child needs in order to read is the ability to mimic and listen... I believe. :)

It would have to be knowing their phonemes and being able to manipulate them into words.  It is the basic unit of sound and would help children to read words.

People need a desire to read. If there is no desire, some students may not see the point in reading the text be it either fictional or nonficition.

A skill that a child must have in order to read effectively is knowledge of high frequency words. There are many words that we see multiple times a day and if a student does not know high frequency words off the top of their head, it will be difficult for them to read.

A skill that a child must have in order to read is an understanding of phonemes.

This is necessary so that students understand the sounds the letters make. This helps

them to decode words by sounding out letters and blending them to read full words.

Before children can read they must have knowledge of the phonemes of the language. Nothing else in reading will make sense without this foundational language skill.

A child needs to have strong memory skills to in order to learn sight words that

cannot be decoded as well as quickly gain automaticity with reading fluency.

Occasionally children have strong decoding skills but struggle with words that are

strictly sight based. Strong decoding skills are important but once the child gains

those skills, fluency is the next priority. If their memorization skills are weak and

they have to decode every word, their fluency rate will suffer which will also effect

their comprehension.

Phonemic awareness is a skill that a child must have in order to read effectively.  Using phonemic awareness, students are able to identify the different phonemes, or smallest unit of sound, in words.  They can also identify what sounds make up a word.  Having this skill helps students with any word.

Children must be able to blend sounds.

A skill that is important for learning to read is understanding letter-sound correspondence. Also, the ability to manipulate sounds in words.

In order for a child to read effectively it is going to important to have a good grasp on phonemes. When a child has a good grasp on phonemes then they are going to be able to build on that skill and grow. Without proper mastery of phonemes, a child is going to struggle in reading to the point that it will be very difficult to move forward.

Before learning to read I think that a child must have a strong language and

vocabulary background which stems from the adults that the child interact

with the most. If this skill is not mastered by the time they are ready to read

they will struggle with comprehending the words that are being read.
