Learning to read is a process. It takes time, practice, and a mix of different brain skills working together. Scarborough’s Reading Rope is a helpful visual that shows all the skills kids need to become strong, confident readers.

Scarboroughs Reading Rope

Imagine reading like braiding a rope.
Each strand in the rope is a different skill. When all the strands are woven together tightly, the rope gets stronger and so does your child’s reading!

The rope is made of two big skill groups:

Word Recognition

These are the skills that help kids read the words easily and automatically:

  • Phonological Awareness: Playing with sounds in words (like rhyming or clapping out syllables).
  • Decoding: Sounding out new words by matching letters to sounds.
  • Sight Recognition: Instantly reading words they’ve seen many times (like “the” or “and”).

Language Comprehension

These are the skills that help kids understand what they read:

  • Vocabulary: Knowing what words mean.
  • Background Knowledge: Using what they know about the world to make sense of the story.
  • Language Structure: Understanding grammar and sentence structure.
  • Literacy Knowledge: Knowing how books work—like reading left to right or recognizing types of stories.
  • Verbal Reasoning: Making guesses, connections, and understanding jokes or metaphors.

As these skills grow, your reader's "rope" gets stronger—and so does their reading confidence!
