Reading instruction refers to the methods and strategies used to teach individuals how to read. This process often includes phonics, which focuses on the relationship between letters and sounds, as well as vocabulary development and comprehension skills. Effective reading instruction aims to help learners understand and interpret written text, enabling them to become proficient readers. Different approaches to reading instruction may include whole language and phonics-based methods. Teachers often assess students' reading levels to tailor instruction to their needs. Additionally, incorporating literature and reading materials that interest students can enhance engagement and motivation in the learning process.
