1. Read-Alouds
2. Modeling
3. Graphic Organizers
4. Have Students Bring Their Own Unique Experiences
5. Turn and Talk

Each strategy reinforces each pillar during reading instruction.

The five essential components of effective reading instruction represent ingredients that must be present in order for children to learn to read. Effective teachers know how to blend these ingredients in the right proportions to meet the unique needs of each child. They understand the roles of phonemic awareness and phonics in building word-recognition skills,...They also know that these two foundational components will receive less emphasis as students gain competence as readers. (p.39)
To summarize, phonemic awareness and phonics is the foundation for building effective readers and writers.

Effective teachers know how fluency facilitates comprehension, and they know how to use research-based strategies for helping students become fluent readers. These teachers are continually building each student’s vocabulary and the ability to learn the meanings of new words through a variety of word-learning strategies. Finally, they know that comprehension is the ultimate goal of reading instruction, and they are adept at helping students learn to apply appropriate comprehension strategies as they read. (p.39)
