The program or collection of practices must include, at a minimum, ~~effective, balanced~~ evidence-based instruction in all five areas of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary development, and reading comprehension.

~~Comprehensive, scientifically based reading~~ Evidence-based literacy instruction also includes and integrates instructional strategies for continuously assessing, evaluating, and communicating the student's reading progress and needs in order to design and implement ongoing interventions so that students of all ages and proficiency levels can read and comprehend text, write, and apply higher level thinking skills.

(b) "Fluency" is the ability of students to read text with speed, accuracy, and proper expression.

(c) "Phonemic awareness" is the ability of students to ~~notice~~ hear, ~~think about~~ identify, and manipulate individual sounds in spoken syllables and words.

(f) "Vocabulary development" is the process of teaching vocabulary both directly and indirectly, with repetition and multiple exposures to vocabulary items. Learning in rich contexts, incidental learning, and use of computer technology enhance the acquiring of vocabulary.
