The five phases of word reading are 1) word recognition through decoding, 2) reading comprehension, 3) evaluation of what is read, 4) application and retention, and 5) reading fluency. Knowing these phases and how to help students master them leads to advances in vocabulary development and reading comprehension. The phases build upon each other and each phase of reading must be mastered before moving to the next phase.

Describe the five phases of the word reading. I was actually doing some research and I have found a different 5 phases.10/08/21

Their phases are pre-alphabetic, partial alphabetic, full alphabetic, consolidated alphabetic, and automatic. I need a description is that what yours are?10/08/21

Sorry, I not sure if I'm understanding, so you're saying that the one's mentioned are phases for "word learning" and the phases you mentioned are for the word 'reading'? Strange, I also am looking at the discussion post and they are also mentioning the five phases I mentioned. Not saying you're wrong but are you sure? If not we are all wrong in our discussion.10/08/21

1. Visual Nonalphabetic 2. Partial Alphabetic 3. Full Graphophonemic 4. Consolidated Graphosyllabic 5. Graphomorphemic Those are the main phases that are being mentioned.10/08/21

I have to disagree with you Debra. I'm also a reading specialist certified in the Orton Gillingham methodology. The five phases you are referring to have nothing to do with WORD reading and decoding, but reading comprehension--two distinctly different concepts. Marcia Henry explained the decoding-spelling continuum as: 1) phonological awareness 2) alphabet/sounds 3) Anglo Saxon consonants and vowels 4) compound words/prefixes-suffixes/syllable division patterns, 5) Latin roots 6) Greek combining forms. The continuum shows the stages or phases children learn to read, and the content that needs to be taught in those stages. Erhi, et al (1998-2000) describes the five phases of reading (see link) https://www.csun.edu/~hda75098/BalancedReading/DecodingPhasetable.html, which is what Maria S referred to. You'll notice similarities between the two researchers' approaches. Best of luck, Maria, Ann12/17/21
