The goal of the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Practice Guide, "Foundational Skills to Support Reading for Understanding in Kindergarten through 3rd Grade," is to offer educators specific, evidence-based recommendations for teaching foundational reading skills to students in kindergarten through 3rd grade. The guide suggests instructional practices that can be implemented after students have mastered early reading skills. The guide provides teachers, reading coaches, principals, and other educators with instructional recommendations that can be implemented in conjunction with existing standards or curricula and does not recommend a particular curriculum. This brief summary report focuses on the fourth of the four recommendations: Ensure that each student reads connected text every day to support reading accuracy, fluency, and comprehension. Reading connected text--that is, multiple sentences related to each other--requires greater skill than reading isolated words. To read and understand connected text, students must quickly recognize words, integrate what they are reading with their background knowledge, and monitor their comprehension. Daily practice with reading connected text helps students increase their accuracy, fluency, and comprehension. This summary provides steps to carry out the recommendation, identifies potential roadblocks, and suggests ways to address them.
