Modeling phonics instruction • The best texts for modeling are high interest or informational. • Independent practice helps readers build the connection between symbols and sounds. • Phonics skills should then be applied to authentic reading and writing experiences to help develop good decoding skills.
3. fluency • The clear, easy, written or spoken expression of ideas.
