Wisconsin Act 20
Key Components of Act 20
What you need to know:
Updates and information
Definition of Science aligned instruction
Instruction that is systematic and explicit and consists of all the following:
- Phonological awareness
- Phonics
- Includes alphabetic principle, decoding, orthographic knowledge, encoding, fluency (automaticity and prosody)
- Building background knowledge
- Oral language development
- Vocabulary building
- Instruction in writing
- Instruction in comprehension
- Reading fluency
Phonics is defined as the study of the relationships between sounds and words; this includes alphabetic principle, decoding, orthographic knowledge, encoding, and fluency.
Prohibits “three cueing” (as defined as meaning, structure, and visual cues (MSV), of teaching a pupil to read based on meaning, structure, and syntax, and visual cues or memory.)
What does this mean?
- Must solve words first with decoding skills
- Not relying on pictures and context clues as the main or first focus
What does this look like in practice?
- Prompt first with phonics (letters and sounds)
- Follow with meaning, structure, and syntax prompting
- Providing instruction in context clues is an evidence-based method for comprehension (NCEE 2016); one of the elements of science-based early literacy instruction as defined in Act 20 is comprehension. Therefore, it is appropriate to provide instruction in context clues when the goal is comprehension.
- This supports the need for students to be monitoring their own reading and comprehension
