SCARBOROUGH'S READING ROPE 

The strands of Scarborough’s Reading Rope (2001) represent the various interconnected components of skilled reading. This display is in our library and serves as a constant reminder to our teachers while planning and preparing what they teach. 

Reading is a complex cognitive process. The Simple View of Reading (Gough and Tunmer, 1986) is a research-supported representation of how reading comprehension is the product of two sets of equally important skills: decoding and linguistic comprehension.

The ropes represent the various interconnected components we see in skilled readers.
