“six steps from sound to text”): phonemic awareness and phonics
(word decoding), word recognition and spelling (word encoding),
vocabulary and morphology (word meaning), grammar and usage
(understanding the form and function of words in context), listening
and reading comprehension, and speaking and writing.
