[quote=Anonymous]I find it so interesting that most online reading discussions talk only about decoding. The iceberg under the ocean's surface is reading comprehension. Anyone with a brain can teach decoding. Comprehension is much, much, much harder. I teach kindergarten and while we use phonics and phonemic awareness instruction (obviously) and sight word memorization to teach decoding, we focus heavily on comprehension. Heavily. Our kids have zero trouble with their accuracy (decoding). But comprehension is a whole different ballgame.[/quote]
