Structured Literacy is the application of the Science of Reading (SOR) research in the classroom. Structured Literacy instruction includes all vital components of reading comprehension and writing; decoding, encoding and language comprehension. A structured approach to literacy ensures that phonology, morphology, orthography, syntax, semantics and discourse level language are explicitly, systematically and cumulatively taught. Progress is monitored in a diagnostic, responsive way to ensure that all children develop literacy proficiency. Structured Literacy best prepares children to read and engage with rich, grade-level and complex texts in upper primary years.

Structured Literacy explicitly and systematically teaches the strands of Scarborough’s Reading Rope and Sedita’s Writing Rope in order to develop skilled reading and writing.
