Skilled reading takes more than phonics and decoding. Students must also understand the words they're reading. That’s where building background knowledge and vocabulary come in. With Scholastic Education Solutions' resources, you can support every student as they make the critical transition from decoding to comprehension. Meaning-Focused Resources
