The Science of Reading
The Science of Reading is a body of research and knowledge that incorporates scientific knowledge and areas of expertise from a variety of disciplines including: education, special education, literacy, psychology, neurology, and cognition.
The Science of Reading has grown over time and is grounded in research on how students learn to read, what skills are involved in the reading process, how they are related and connect, and which parts of the brain are responsible for reading development.
Through use of Science of Reading, teachers, caregivers/parents, and researchers are able to identify an evidence-based best practice approach for teaching foundational literacy skills to emerging readers.
