Science of Reading
Transform Literacy Instruction
Our professional learning is built on the evidence-based approach to teaching, outlined in the 2000 National Reading Panel Report. The detailed research in the report alongside recent major scientific advancements into literacy acquisition have uncovered a large disconnect between how we are teaching children to read and how children actually learn to read. Only 70% of students leave school with the literacy skills to reach their full potential. We can change this by understanding and teaching the fundamental skills – phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension – that children must acquire to become fluent and efficient readers and the strategies that are most effective in teaching these skills.
