The Reading Progression

The ability to identify sounds in spoken words.
Phonics
Decoding words by correlating sounds with letters or groups of letters.
Fluency
Reading in a way that sounds like spoken language.
Vocabulary
Understanding and using a variety of words.
Comprehension
Understanding what the text is really saying.
