Education Buzzwords: Reading Strategies & Skills

I was recently doing some research on literacy related topics when I came across this article, "Clarifying the Differences Between Reading Skills and Reading Strategies." The authors' have identified two often used buzzwords in English/ELA/Reading education and have clarified their meanings really well in this article. My general take away is this: reading skills are what readers do automatically, and reading strategies are what readers do intentionally. In addition to this clarification, this article offers some great insight for instruction. Even though the concepts and discussion are geared toward earlier readers, the instructional points can be applied to any grade level. Click here to view this article.
