What is the Science of Reading?
The science of reading is an evidence-based instructional approach proven to ignite literacy growth.
Decades of research support the design of this scientifically-based method powered by the National Reading Panel’s “Big Five” foundational literacy essentials:
- Phonemic awareness
- Phonic
- Fluency
- Vocabulary
- Comprehension
Why the Science of Reading?
The science of reading combines decades of research in education, psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience to figure out what students need to learn and how they need to learn it.
Using the Big Five essentials, the Simple View of Reading theory, and Scarborough’s Reading Rope diagram, districts can effectively transform students into skilled readers.
