Module 8: MultiMedia

The Framework for Reading Comprehension

This chart shows the domains of knowledge a child must master in order to learn to read English. This is from the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory at www.sedl.org/pubs/sedletter/v11n01/3.html.

I selected this chart because it demonstrates the many aspects that go into being able to read and which skills are dependent on one another.

Skills Necessary for Reading

This is from the Time4Learning website: www.time4learning.com/.../comprehension.htm. This pyramid presents the basic concepts and abilities a child needs in order to learn to read.

I selected this chart because it shows both the skills necessary for eventual literacy and the age ranges during which most children develop these skills. Also, because it groups the skills, it provides a better context for understanding how the skills build on one another.
