REVIEW WRITING: LANGUAGE AND LITERACY2
Summary
The article shows the importance of the established framework, which was established
after extensive research by the National Reading Panel (NPR), which included assessment of
100,000 surveys and more than 120 submission forms by people involved in the teaching
field, which included students as well. The five key components which were recognized as
the ‘Fab Five’ included Phonic awareness, comprehension, phonics, vocabulary, and fluency.
The debate around the most effective way to introduce the student to reading and develop
individual reading capability has been put to rest with the Report of the National Reading
Panel in the year 2000 (Konza, 2014). It led to a considerable implementation of the
framework in teaching young children and enhancing their reading skills and led to
satisfaction among them due to the validation. It was also welcomed due to the easy
availability of following a completely packed five-step technique to achieve success in
helping young children develop individual learning reading capability.
However, the article adds one of the main objections to the composition of ‘Fab Five’
that is the restrictive methodology on which the structure is based. Konza points out the
exclusion of the underlying factors that influences language learning and developing
availability in young children, namely the influence of oral language. He establishes the
direct link of oral communication with Fab Five. He shows how oral language and the forms
in which the children are exposed to it form the primary entity or foundation on which their
learning of reading capacity can be built (Konza, 2014). The connection of oral language with
Early Literary Experiences shows the importance of early exposure of young children aged
nine months to three years to be associated with their language and sound recognition as well
formation of vocabulary.
