Educators and researchers had spent decades determining the best ways to teach children to read. Some used the \u201cwhole word\u201d approach, where students focused more heavily on language comprehension. Others preferred phonics, teaching students to decode.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns aofl-advice-media-text is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#01075f;line-height:1.5\">Gough and Tunmer realized that both approaches had merit\u2014and what\u2019s more, they were both necessary. Their SVR model caught on like wildfire and became the gold-medal standard in reading instruction throughout the 1990s. Study after study confirmed it: <strong>the best way to achieve full reading comprehension was to teach decoding and language comprehension hand-in-hand.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"856\" height=\"836\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-24-at-3.43.45\u202fPM.png\" alt=\"A simple view of reading poster\" class=\"wp-image-33276\" style=\"width:330px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-24-at-3.43.45\u202fPM.png 856w, https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-24-at-3.43.45\u202fPM-300x293.png 300w, https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-24-at-3.43.45\u202fPM-768x750.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 856px) 100vw, 856px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"aofl-pull-quote-option2 has-text-color has-background\" style=\"color:#01075f;background-color:#e9f5ff;line-height:1.5\">For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/eric.ed.gov\/?id=EJ1191983\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the study&nbsp;<\/a> <em>Examining the Simple View of Reading with Elementary School Children: Still Simple after All These Years<\/em> (Lonigan, Burgess, &amp; Schatschneider, 2018), examined 757 children from grades 3 to 5 to understand<strong> the role of decoding and language comprehension in reading comprehension.<\/strong> The results showed that <strong>these two components accounted for nearly all the variance in reading comprehension. <\/strong>The study also highlighted developmental shifts, with decoding being more crucial in early grades and language comprehension becoming more dominant as students&#8217; progress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"aofl-advice-paragraph has-text-color\" style=\"color:#01075f;line-height:1.5\">Over time, the SVR became part of what\u2019s known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/advice\/what-is-the-science-of-reading\/16524\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Science of Reading<\/a>.

If a child decodes well but doesn\u2019t understand what they\u2019re reading, they may need more help building vocabulary or understanding grammar. On the other hand, if a student struggles to sound out words but understands them once they do, they need more work on phonics and decoding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"aofl-advice-paragraph has-text-color\" style=\"color:#01075f;line-height:1.5\">If your child is having difficulty with reading, it\u2019s vital to use intervention strategies that address the specific part of the equation they\u2019re struggling with.
