Cognitive Foundations of Reading Acquisition
Updated: Mar 23, 2020
This Cognitive Foundations Framework (Tunmer & Hoover, 2019), may be seen as a current version of Scarborough's Reading Rope (Scarborough, 2001) and The Simple View of Reading. (Gough & Tunmer, 1986). "If beginning readers are not progressing satisfactorily (i.e. at rates similar to their peers) in reading comprehension, is it because they are having problems recognizing printed words, problems understanding the language being read, or both" (Tunmer & Hoover, 2019, p. 90).
