Explicit Phonics, fluency, and comprehension are key building blocks in the Reading Mastery Programme Unlike other reading programmes that treat learning as an activity to be watched from the sidelines, Reading Mastery Plus gives students the skills and the clear, explicit instruction and guidance they need to master the fundamentals of reading. Oral language, phonemic word analysis, vocabulary building, fluency, and comprehension are fundamental throughout the programme. As students learn key decoding skills, these skills are applied to help students develop comprehension skills and strategies, so they get the most benefit out of the material they are reading.
