The science of reading movement has done much to improve instruction in foundational skills. But that hard-won progress may be reversed unless we also help children acquire the knowledge and vocabulary they need to understand complex text.

The book covers the topics of phonemic awareness, phonics, morphology, vocabulary, "sight words", fluency, comprehension, spelling, writing, programming, sound walls, and intervention.
