[PPT] The Basal Reading Approach is a technique used to teach children reading
skills. Basal stems from the word "base" or "basic." Commonly called "reading books"
or "readers," basal readers are short stories, including individual books for learners, a
teacher's edition, workbooks, assessments and activities for a specific reading level.

[ADLIB] When working with basal readers, students are divided into groups according
to their reading abilities. The books are taught in order of sequence with the teacher
providing post-reading comprehension activities. The intent of the basal reader is to
teach children to read at or above grade-level expectations and give students all the
skills they need to make reading progress.

[PPT] A typical lesson would start with building students' background to activate their
prior knowledge. Then students are introduced to vocabulary words. Next, the class
makes predictions about the story, and guided reading begins with the teacher. Once
the reading is complete, students refer back to their previous predictions and complete
a comprehensive discussion, followed by extension projects and activities.

The Importance of Reading

OLASIMAN

[ADLIB] Literacy is one of the most important things in the world. As a basic part of life,
the ability to read is essential to being able to function in our world. Indeed, when a child
learns how to read, it opens up a plethora of other doors. They can take that ability and
use it to study history, science, and literature. Even mathematics requires some basic
reading skills.
In this lesson, we'll discuss a popular and long-tried program for teaching students to
read: basal reading programs.
 [PPT] Basal reading programs teach students to read through a series of texts that
teach students to read by focusing on basic linguistic concepts, reading skills, and
vocabulary. Instead of using pre-existing books to teach a child to read, the texts used
in basal reading programs are created with the express purpose of teaching children
how to read. Basal reading programs are often designed collaboratively by educational
companies and authors. Together, they structure lessons to introduce the basics of
reading, like letters, parts of speech, and suffixes, before moving on to more complex
things, like sentence and paragraph structure.

[PPT] Basal reading programs depend upon the commitment of the student and
teacher. They emphasize the repetition of concepts until they're memorized and
generally introduce new concepts at regular intervals. The concepts and skills that basal
reading programs help students master are usually closely aligned with curriculum
standards in order to make sure each student attains the reading proficiency necessary
to reach benchmarks according to federal, state, or local school board requirements.

How the Basal Reading Approach works?

KLER (ALL PPT) PAGE 6

 It's systematic and follows a logical sequence.

 The levels progress from emergent reader to advanced reader with
smooth transitions and consistency.
 Teachers are provided with the tools they need to evaluate students'
knowledge and progress, as well as guidance as to how to teach and
extend each lesson.

Basal reading instruction differs from a guided reading program in that it uses texts that
are written to teach reading, as opposed to using written texts to teach reading. This
type of program is sometimes referred to as a scientifically-based reading program.
