About Reading Instruction Approaches

GoConqr Original

Start with approaches to reading

The Reading Instruction Approaches page brings together resources made by GoConqr users. For an overview of contrasting approaches, start with the mind map Learning to read. It introduces phonics, look and say, and psycholinguistic approaches. Its phonics branch looks at letters and letter combinations in terms of sounds.

As you explore the map, note how each approach is described. You can then use those descriptions as a reference when looking at other resources on the page.

Explore balanced reading

Next, look at a Balanced Reading Program mind map. Several maps on the page share that title. They include read-aloud, shared, guided and independent reading. One also mentions showing what fluent reading looks and sounds like, while another describes teacher modeling.

The Balanced Reading mind map gives you another view of shared reading. It describes the teacher explicitly teaching reading strategies while students participate. A note titled Balanced Reading Program also lists the reading formats and describes a collaborative effort involving teachers, lead teachers, resource staff and principals.

Use maps and the quiz together

After studying a map, use the page’s quiz to practice. Return to the map to review the ideas you want to look at again. The Reading teaching methods flashcards offer another format to explore alongside the maps.

For a different perspective, Approaches to Teaching Reading discusses reading aloud and making connections with previous knowledge. Reading Instruction Essentials considers what reading is and how it should be taught.

Place the topic in the unit

Reading Instruction Approaches is one section of the Teaching Reading unit in Education and pedagogy (incl. teaching methods, curriculum, educational psychology). The maps Trial & Error and Reading Instruction Evolved add historical perspectives to the approaches on this page.
