Foundational skills for school-age readers are essential for literacy development and academic success. These skills form the building blocks that enable children to progress from basic decoding of words to fluent and comprehensive reading. Here are some of the key foundational skills for school-age readers:

1. Phonemic Awareness: The ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds—phonemes—in spoken words. This skill helps children understand that words are made up of smaller sound units, which is crucial for decoding and spelling.

2. Phonics: Understanding the relationship between phonemes (the sounds of spoken language) and graphemes (the letters and spellings that represent those sounds in written language). Phonics instruction helps children learn to read by teaching them to decode words by sounds, enabling them to read new and unfamiliar words.

3. Fluency: The ability to read text accurately, quickly, and with proper expression. Fluent readers recognize words automatically without having to sound them out. Fluency is important because it provides a bridge between word recognition and comprehension.

4. Vocabulary: A broad vocabulary is essential for understanding and making sense of what is read. School-age readers should be exposed to a wide range of words and be taught strategies for learning new vocabulary, such as using context clues, word parts (prefixes, suffixes, and roots), and dictionaries.

5. Reading Comprehension: The ability to understand and interpret what is being read. Comprehension skills include summarizing the main idea, making inferences, predicting outcomes, and making connections to prior knowledge. Good comprehension is the ultimate goal of reading.

6. Spelling and Writing: Writing skills are closely linked to reading skills. As children learn to spell and write, they become more aware of the structures and patterns in the words they read, which reinforces their reading skills.

7. Critical Thinking: The ability to think critically about what is read, including questioning the text, recognizing arguments and evidence, and evaluating the credibility of sources. This skill becomes increasingly important as children encounter a variety of texts in their schooling.

8. Motivation and Engagement: Encouraging a love for reading and an interest in a variety of texts helps children to become lifelong readers. Motivation can be fostered through access to a wide range of reading materials that are both interesting and appropriate for the child's reading level.

Developing these foundational skills requires systematic instruction, practice, and support from teachers, parents, and caregivers. By focusing on these areas, school-age readers can build a strong foundation for reading that will support their educational journey and beyond.
