Read what the Science of Reading tells us, and see how Open Court Reading empowers teachers to make the research actionable.  \nPrint and Book Awareness  \nWhat Research Tells Us  \nThe National Early Literacy Panel (NELP), which provides a synthesis of the research on early literacy development, identified the link between specific early literacy skills and later success in reading and writing (National Early Literacy Panel, 2008) .  \nHow Open Court Reading Applies Research  \nThe Foundational Skills section of Open Court Reading contains print awareness instruction related to learning the alphabet, letter formation, and how the alphabet works. Print awareness elements are also integrated into instruction when teachers engage students in reading comprehension and writing activities.  \nSee It In Action!  \nPrint awareness involves understanding there are reasons print is arranged in a certain way.  \nPhonological & Phonemic Awareness  \nWhat Research Tells Us  \nThe ease with which children learn to read often depends on their level of phonological/ phonemic awareness (Shaywitz, 2003; Stanovich, 1986) . Explicit instruction in phonemic awareness is important, and it should follow a developmental progression from working with words and parts of words to manipulating individual sounds (Mott & Rutherford, 2012) .  \nPhonological and phonemic awareness are initially taught as oral/aural (speaking/listening) skills. Combining this instruction with instruction in letter sounds has a positive effect on reading and spelling for many students, including ELs and readers with disabilities (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, 2000) .  \nHow Open Court Reading Applies Research  \nPhonological awareness instruction includes listening for word parts, identifying the number of words in sentences, combining word parts into words, working with rhyme, clapping and counting syllables in a word, and manipulating and exploring sounds through game-like activities. Phonemic awareness instruction shifts from working with words and word parts to manipulating individual sounds (or phonemes) . Instruction focuses on two key areas: oral blending and oral segmentation. Phonemes are connected to letters as students move through activities that focus on sound and letter substitution and sound discrimination.  \nSee It In Action!  \nPhonological awareness activities include manipulating and exploring sounds through game-like activities.  \nPhonics and Decoding  \nWhat Research Tells Us  \nCognitive science research proves both fluent, accurate decoding and automatic word recognition are essential behaviors skilled readers demonstrate. When these skills are based in phonic knowledge, the reader is able to connect sounds and words to meaning. Louisa Moats specifically emphasizes the importance of young readers connecting sounds to letters (or spellings) and constructing words in order to read them (Moats, 1998) .  \nHow Open Court Reading Applies Research  \nOpen Court Reading introduces sounds and spellings through systematic, explicit, and sequential instruction, enabling students to build both decoding (reading) and encoding (spelling) abilities. Beginning in grade K, children learn about the alphabetic principle—that is, which sounds are represented by letters and can be blended to form words. Instruction shifts in grade 1 from mapping sounds to letters to mapping sounds to spellings.
