3. Summarizing
(A summary of what Developmental Reading is all about)
Developmental reading is a branch of reading instruction that is designed to support
literacy in a variety of contexts to improve comprehension and decoding skills. This
instructional approach helps bridge gaps in reading skills so that students are better equipped
to engage with more advanced content. Whether a student needs to increase their
comprehension, speed, accuracy, or something else, developmental reading will help them
reach their goals. It teaches strategies that can be used in any subject area, especially
language arts courses and interdisciplinary classes such as social studies, science, and higher-
level math courses. These tend to require students to read and understand large amounts of
complex text and can be daunting if a student doesn't feel like they have strong reading
strategies at their disposal.
 Developmental reading is designed to supplement existing literacy skills and does not
address basic skills such as phonemic awareness, decoding, and vocabulary. These are
usually taught upon first learning to read. The very main goal of developmental reading is to
lift up the students who need more support and level the playing field so that reading feels
possible to everyone.
