The programmes of study for Reading at Key Stages 1 and 2 consist of two dimensions:

• Word reading;
• Comprehension (both listening and reading).

It is essential that teaching focuses on developing childrens’ competence in both dimensions; different kinds of teaching are needed for each. Skilled word reading involves both the speedy working out of the pronunciation of unfamiliar printed words (decoding) and the speedy recognition of familiar printed words.
