Scarborough's Reading Rope
Essential for reading comprehension, this is the knowledge of a topic before reading. The more you know about a text the easier it will be to read, understand and retain.
What is Background Knowledge?
Students have done this if they can read a word instantly without putting any effort into decoding it.
What is Orthographic Mapping?
The ability to identify and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words.
What is Phonemic Awareness?
Word recognition (decoding) and this make up the Simple View of Reading.
What is Language Comprehension?
Structure Literacy is this is ACTION!
What is the Science of Reading?
This strand includes Background Knowledge, Vocabulary, Language Structure, Verbal Reasoning, and Literacy/Print Knowledge.
What is Language Comprehension?
Instruction that includes the simultaneous association of auditory, visual, kinesthetic-motor modalities for enhancing memory and learning.
What is Multisensory Teaching?
The ability to read text accurately, quickly, and expressively, either to oneself or aloud.
What is Fluency?
This is the product (outcome) of The Simple View of Reading.
What is Reading Comprehension?
This component of Structured Literacy consists of ongoing assessment, formal and informal, of student needs and progress.
What is Diagnostic Instruction?
This strand includes phonological awareness, decoding, and sight recognition of familiar words.
What is Word Recognition?
A specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities.
What is Dyslexia?
The growing, stored compilation of words that students understand and use in their conversation and recognize in print.
What is Vocabulary?
This math sign is vital to the Simple View of Reading.
What is multiplication?
The deliberate teaching of all concepts with continuous student-teacher interaction. The teacher clearly explains and models key skills, with well-chosen examples.
What is Explicit Instruction?
Scarborough names this as fluent execution and coordination of word recognition and text comprehension.
What is Skilled Reading?
All students receive instruction within an evidence-based, scientifically researched core program.
What is Tier 1 Instruction?
The ability to understand, remember, and make meaning of what has been read—this is the purpose for reading.
What is Comprehension?
The ability to apply your knowledge of letter-sound relationships, including knowledge of letter patterns, to correctly pronounce written words.
What is Decoding?
A planned sequence of instruction, with important prerequisite skills taught before more advanced skills.
What is Systematic Instruction?
Syntax and semantics make up this part of the rope?
What are language structures?
An educator's ability to recognize students' cultural displays of learning and making meaning and respond with teaching moves that use cultural knowledge as a scaffold to connect prior knowledge to new concepts.
What is Culturally Responsive Teaching?
The ability to understand that there is a predictable relationship between phonemes and graphemes.
What is Phonics?
This reading model adds Active Self Regulation and Bridging Processes to the SVR model.
What is the Active View of Reading?
These books and text contain words made of letter-sounds, and spelling and morphological patterns (e.g. prefixes & suffixes) that a student has been explicitly taught.
What are Decodable Books?
