Science of Reading: Putting Research into Practice

How can the Science of Reading inform literacy instruction? 

In Putting Scientific Evidence to Work in Reading Instruction, literacy researcher and program author D. Ray Reutzel, Ph.D., explores the evidence behind effective reading instruction. From decoding and word recognition to vocabulary, background knowledge, and comprehension, the whitepaper examines how students become proficient readers and what that means for classroom practice.

Download the whitepaper to explore:

• How foundational skills, language, and knowledge work together to support reading comprehension
• Why explicit, systematic instruction is essential to teaching reading
• How assessment helps educators guide instruction and identify students who need additional support
• What “research based” and “research tested” mean when evaluating literacy programs and instructional materials

A Research Foundation for Literacy Instruction

The Science of Reading informs the design of Curriculum Associates’ literacy programs—from explicit, systematic foundational skills instruction to building the vocabulary, knowledge, and comprehension students need to understand complex texts. Across core instruction, supplemental learning, and intervention, our programs help educators put reading research into practice.
