Science of Reading
Research-Backed Instruction
The Science of Reading 101 is the approach to reading instruction that is backed by research as the most effective way to ensure equitable and essential instruction for all students. Although this method of teaching reading is proven to be the most effective, we have been somewhat hesitant to jump on board with it for several reasons. There is no better time, no more critical time, no more important time than now to begin providing equitable and the most effective instruction for our students.
