Teaching of Reading - Principles

If you had to condense your approach to the teaching of reading into a set of guiding principles, what would there be? Think principles is a really great choice of word for what you're describing here. It's very tempting to look at something that has an absolute mountain of research behind it and come away saying we can do x y sed in exactly the form described in the research. And that isn't the case. What this research does provide us with is a set of principles. Rather than do this and it will always work, it's more if you understand these principles,. If you er make sure that what you do in your context fits with them, then you won't go far wrong
