10-second review: Don’t assume students know fundamentals about reading—like reading from left to right; like you must make sense out of what you read and if you don’t then you have to go back and fix it; like following the order of the letters.

Comment: The same applies to the language the teacher uses in giving instructions. Don’t assume that students understand the words you have used. RayS.
