The document discusses the key components of reading for meaning and becoming a fluent reader in grades 1 and 2. It identifies 7 main components: print concept, phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and writing. Each component is briefly defined, with an emphasis on how they build upon each other to allow children to understand and construct meaning from what they read. The overarching goal is to teach these components to make students fluent readers who can read for meaning, not just decode words.
