Decoding is the ability to sound out words. Phonics instruction builds students' foundational literacy skills, and helps them learn to decode words. I use the Wilson Reading System for phonics instruction, which is one of the most effective curricula for literacy intervention.

Reading comprehension is the ability to understand what has been read, and demonstrate that understanding in various ways. I help students make meaning of complex, grade level texts, and learn to express their understanding clearly and confidently
