More recently, strategies have been used to describe aspects of reading that involve intentional control and deliberate direction of behavior. Today, like many teachers and researchers, we use the terms skills and strategies, both formally and informally, to describe features of children’s reading development as well as features of teachers’ reading instruction (Paris, Wasik, & Turner, 1991; Pressley & Afflerbach, 1995). The term reading skills has been used in reading curricula for teachers and K–12 students for at least 50 years.
