Five Components of Effective Reading Instruction:

Turbo Start contains the five components of effective reading instruction identified by research from the National Reading Panel. Turbo Start addresses each component by:

• Phonemic Awareness – following established procedures for explicitly teaching the relationships between speech-sound production and spelling-sound patterns.
• Phonics – providing a systematic approach for single word decoding.
• Fluency – using research-proven. directed practice in repeated reading of words, phrases and passages to help individuals read newly encountered text more fluently.
• Vocabulary – featuring multiple word learning strategies (definitional, structural, contextual) and explicit teaching techniques with application in text.
• Reading Comprehension – teaching individuals to explicitly use and articulate multiple comprehension strategies in narrative and expository text (i.e., cooperative learning, story structure, question generation and answering, summarization and comprehension monitoring).
