Automaticity is often overlooked, but its importance cannot be overstated!

I used to think that having my students "read" leveled books from the very beginning was what they needed to build comprehension. ⁠
⁠
I was sure that those boring decodable books would HINDER comprehension, not help it.⁠
⁠
What I didn't understand was that decoding needs to become automatic so that students can free up their brains for comprehension. ⁠
⁠
My students couldn't become automatic decoders without practice ... and they weren't getting the kind of practice they needed with those leveled books!⁠
⁠
My students NEEDED to read quality decodable books (yup, quality decodables exist - who knew?). ⁠
⁠.. And while kids are working on automaticity, we can build vocabulary and comprehension through quality, interactive read alouds. ❤️
