ICYMI: Why the Three-Cueing Model Hinders Reading Proficiency
KRS 158.791 requires the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) to support “local school districts in…implementing evidence-based reading, intervention, and instructional strategies that emphasize phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, [and] comprehension…” The three-cueing strategy - also known as MSV - used by some reading teachers to teach word recognition is not an evidence-based instructional strategy and does not emphasize phonemic awareness or phonics skills, the foundational components of reading students must acquire along with fluency, vocabulary, comprehension and knowledge to become a skilled reader. Why the Three-Cueing Model Hinders Reading Proficiency is now available to help educators understand the basis for not implementing three-cueing.
