ASSESSMENT OF READING SKILL

Reading and Spelling both depend on knowing that print is a code for speech. Both require knowledge of the code.

letters stand for sounds (phonics)
patterns of letters stand for sounds: igh, ph
syllables determine letter sounds (orthography): rag vs rage, kit vs kite, rig vs right

Fluency with the code:

efficient recognition of letter patterns and the sounds they make
efficient recognition of words that appear frequently
