Simple View of Reading (SVR)
reading comprehension is the product of word recognition and language comprehension
Universals
Shared properties of human language
Phonemes
speech sounds, smallest unit
Morphemes
The meaningful units of language that make up words. (in, come, -ing = incoming)
orthographies
systems of written symbols to represent the sounds, syllables, and morphemes of spoken language
language is comprised of
pragmatics, sentential semantics, syntax, orthography, lexical semantics, morphology, and phonology
orthography
,the written system of spelling patterns and correspondences between speech and print
orthography relevance to reading and writing
the spelling system represents phoneme-grapheme correspondences, syllable patterns, and meaningful
parts of words (morphemes); it must be decoded for reading and encoded for writing
language system
orthography
phonetics
phonology
morphology
syntax
semantics
discourse
pragmatics
phonetics
the articulation and perception of speech sounds
phonetics relevance to reading and writing
Descriptions of and comparisons of speech sounds enable the teaching of phoneme awareness and word
pronunciation. These in turn enable printed word recognition and spelling.
phonology
,the system of rules governing the sequencing and distribution of speech sounds in words
phonology relevance to reading and writing
Sounds are combined according to rules and patterns; knowledge of these patterns facilitates word
recognition, spelling, and vocabulary.
morphology
the smallest meaningful parts from which words are created
morphology relevance to reading and writing
Compounds, prefixes, suffixes, roots, and combining forms are examples of morphemes important for
vocabulary, word recognition, and spelling.
syntax
the rule system that governs how words are combined into phrases, clauses, and sentences
syntax relevance to reading and writing
Interpreting syntax is essential for reading comprehension; producing grammatical syntax is essential for
written expression. Punctuation marks syntactic structures.
semantics
the aspect of language that concerns the meanings of words, phrases, and sentences and the
relationships among word meanings
, semantics relevance to reading and writing
Semantic processing is recognizing, constructing, storing, and retrieving meaning represented by
language
discourse
the organizational conventions of connected text
discourse relevance to reading and writing
Paragraph structure, dialogue, narrative form, expository forms, and other text organizations enable
reading comprehension and written expression.
Pragmatics
how language is used in social contexts; rules of social discourse
pragmatics relevance to reading and writing
Audience awareness in writing and author awareness in reading are pragmatic skills.
Automaticity
the ability to execute tasks without conscious attention
digraphs
spelling unit that has two letters that stand for two distinct sounds (consonant blends such as cl, st, pr)
or silent letter spellings that retain the sound of spelled consonant (kn-, wr- -mb).
