The basal reading program, also known as readers and readers, is a technique for teaching reading skills to young children. These readers are typically short stories written specifically for learners. They are designed to be read within a limited number of minutes by one child or group. The core philosophy of basal readers is to focus on developing students' foundational reading abilities. This is achieved through the use of repetitive words, high-frequency words, and simple concepts. The goal is to introduce children to a wide range of themes and vocabulary.
In recent years, many new readers have been developed for older students with the goal of making their reading more engaging. In these newer reader series, the focus shifts from decodable text to whole word reading. This approach involves students in the early stages of reading development. basal readers can take several forms, including books, flashcards, and interactive activities that are both teacher-paced and self-paced.
