What Principals Need to Know about Reading Instruction
Carbo, Marie
Principal, v85 n1 p46-49 Sep-Oct 2005
Although most principals do not teach reading, it is critical that they know how reading should be taught, especially in the primary grades. A growing body of research gives an increasingly clear picture of effective reading programs. It indicates that most young children need instruction in five reading areas: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. This article discusses which reading strategies and procedures in these areas work best for most youngsters.
