         <description><![CDATA[<p>Phonics is another one of the five key components for reading. It is the relationship between the letters and letter combinations in written language and the individual sounds in spoken language.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Another key component for reading is Vocabulary. Vocabulary can be learned incidentally through reading or listening to others read. The more words a reader knows the eaiser it is to understand text, this is why vocabulary should be taught both directly and indirectly.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Text Comprehension is a key component of reading as well. It is the process readers use to understand what they have read. This key component goes hand in hand with vocabulary as students need to know the words they are reading to understand what they are reading.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The last component of the five key components is fluency. Fluency is the ability to read just as you are speaking, having a flow, and not having to stop and decode words. This also means understanding what you are reading as you read.</p>]]></description>
