Every Child, Every Day: Six Elements of Effective Reading Instruction
A summary from Richard Allington, Educational Leadership, March 2012
1. Every child, everyday reads something they have chosen themselves.
2. Every child reads accurately. Research shows that reading at 98% or higher
accuracy is essential for reading acceleration.
3. Every child reads something he or she understands. This takes a lot of reading and
rereading of text that students find engaging.
4. Every child writes about something personally meaningful. When they write about
something they care about, they use conventions of spelling and grammar because it mat-
ters that their ideas are communicated.
5. Every child talks with their peers about reading and writing. Research has demonstrated
that conversation with peers improves comprehension and engagement with text.
6. Every child listens to a fluent adult reader read aloud. This increases students’ own flu-
ency and comprehension skills, expands vocabulary, background knowledge, awareness
of genre and text structure.
