The fundamental building blocks of reading; the core skills students need to master to become proficient readers, which includes phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

• Decoding, encoding, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics

The ability to identify and play with the individual sounds in spoken words.

being able to identify that the word 'cat' has three sounds (/k/ /a/ /t/) and being able to change the /k/ sound to /b/ to create the word 'bat'

Understanding how letters and groups of letters link to sounds to form letter-sound relationships and spelling patterns.

When a child is taught the sounds for the letters t, p, a and s, they can start to build up the words: “tap," “taps," “pat," “pats” and “sat."
