Although phonics and word decoding are the foundational underpinnings of reading, it is important to note that improving reading achievement does not end with phonics mastery. There is more to instruct with reading, including vocabulary, comprehension, fluency and deeper phonemic awareness. However, with the implementation of the Phonics Lesson Library (PLL), foundationally explicit strategies will give students strategies to code words which in turn will open up the door to literacy.
