SL Structured Literacy

Instructional Targets
Educators who adopt a Structured Literacy approach to reading instruction teach all aspects of
language in support of reading development. Students capable of reading are equipped with the
lifelong skill of being able to gain knowledge from text. Here are some of the areas taught as part of
Structured Literacy in support of reading.

Phonological Structure and Phonemes

1
Educators provide instruction in the sounds of spoken words. They
help their students become aware that spoken words are made up of
sound segments smaller than a syllable (i.e., phonemes). They help
them to learn the individual phonemes within a language that are used
to create spoken words.

2
Sound-Symbol Correspondences
Educators provide instruction in letters, the speech sounds that letters
represent, and how letters are combined to form words.

Word Structure and Patterns

3
Educators teach their students the representation of the sounds
of a language by written or printed symbols. Word structure is the
orthography of a language. It specifies the conditions for spelling
spoken words using visual symbols (i.e., letters).
Morphology
Educators teach their students how to build and understand words using
the meaningful units of words (i.e., morphemes). 4
5
Word Meanings
Educators teach word meanings (vocabulary), interpretation of
phrases and sentences, and understanding of text structure.

6
Grammatical and Text Structure
Educators teach their students how words are combined to convey
meaning. They teach their students how text is structured to
convey meaning.
