What is Decoding? - Landmark Outreach Explore the components of word recognition—phonemic awareness, phonics, and decoding. Learn how these elements combine in skilled reading, with explicit strategies for teaching and addressing decoding difficulties in students, especially those with learning differences.

Decoding is the foundation of the reading house. 🏠 Without the ability to translate print to speech, comprehension can't happen.

Check out our strategy post on the mechanics of decoding: https://ow.ly/HiZj50YpOu5

Open book on a table with a blurred background. Overlaid text reads: "Literacy allows people with disabilities to have more control over their interdependence." -Dr. Karen Erickson.

TONIGHT we will be diving into one of the most important conversations in literacy education.

And you do not want to miss it.

Literacy is not just academic. It is access. It is agency. It is belonging.

Fluency Interventions at the Word, Phrase, and Sentence Levels - Landmark Outreach Discover targeted fluency interventions at the word and phrase level to support struggling readers. Learn how strategies like rapid word recognition, rime patterns, and phrase chunking build automaticity, prosody, and overall reading fluency.

Fluency interventions work best when they aren't just "reading more." Try a hierarchical approach: Start at the word level, move to phrases, then sentences. Build that automaticity before moving to paragraphs!

From Early Grade Initiatives to Measurable Results K-12: The Next Era of State Literacy Reform States are moving toward systemic implementation and measurable literacy outcomes for all students, including upper elementary, middle, and high school.

The next phase of the literacy movement is here. States are moving beyond policy adoption toward statewide implementation systems that support evidence-based instruction, data-driven improvement, and #literacy success for students in all grades.

What is Oral Reading Fluency? In addition to rate and accuracy, tone and expression are fundamental to oral reading fluency.

If decoding isn't automatic, comprehension suffers. 📖 Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) is the bridge that lets students focus on meaning.

Signed, Sealed, Undelivered Your state probably passed a science of reading law. Here’s why your child’s classroom may never feel it.

Over 40 states have passed science of reading legislation. So why are so many kids still being taught w/methods the research abandoned decades ago? Laws change. Classrooms don’t. Here’s why. 🧵

. The key take-home is not every child needs phonics but to get average scores up the broad middle does a LOT Better with Explicit phonics instruction and LOTS Of it early on. This isn't a Silver Bullet but building those foundational skills is pivotal.

Bar chart titled "K–2 reading readiness climbs just 1–2 percentage points annually." It shows the percentage of students on track for learning to read from the 2019-20 to the 2025-26 school years, with slight annual increases.

📈 Our latest K–2 reading data shows students gaining ground: 57% are now on track to learn to read, up from 47% in '21–22. But year-over-year improvement has slowed.
