What is Structured Literacy
Structured Literacy is an evidence-based research approach to the teaching of reading and writing.
It is the direct, explicit, systematic, accumulative and diagnostic delivery of literacy components that build effective literacy foundations.
It should include the sound structure of language (phonological awareness), letter names and formations, sound (phonemes)/symbol (graphemes) correspondences, syllable types, spelling, morphemes, vocabulary, sentence structure (syntax), paragraph and text structure and comprehension instruction.
