• Selecting the most effective instructional
  practices and interventions for students requires
  educators to be knowledgeable about what works
  what students need to be able to do in each
  essential component of reading so they can become
  proficient readers.

• It is very important for educators to know
  what scenario fits with certain students so time
  is not wasted on teaching skills and strategies
  students already know. Getting the right fit
  starts with assessing students in some or all of
  the components of reading to find out what
  instructional practices or interventions each
  student needs.
