1. The Science of Reading Buffy Meador
2. Our brains are created to speak and soak in language, but not to read. Only 20%-30% of children learn to read without explicit instruction. 70%-80% need an implicit curriculum and structured instruction to attain the literacy skills needed to stay on track with learning progress. (King & Davis, 2022)
3. The reading instruction that a child receives in their early years makes an impact on the child’s lifelong academic success. Teachers can give students a powerful start by staying knowledgeable of literacy trends and research and using this information to inform instruction. (Waterford, 2023)
4. What is The Science of Reading? An evidence-based, structured learning approach based on what has proven to work in literacy instruction. (Wills, 2021)
5. The Reading Brain The ability to read is created in the left hemisphere of the brain. Certain areas of the brain process visual input and letter sounds. Different areas recall meanings and pronunciations of words. Non-readers and developing readers do not yet have these connections. Learning to read changes the brain. Neural pathways are formed between areas that must collaborate to make reading possible. (Waterford, 2023)
6. Simple View of Reading Demonstrates the Science of Reading Formula that demonstrates two basic components of reading. Adept reading comprehension is the product of decoding skills and language comprehension skills (Waterford, 2023)
7. Scarborough’s Reading Rope 2 main strands: Word Recognition and Language Comprehension Each has several smaller strands. The strands woven together represent skilled reading. All skills are interconnected and dependent upon each other. (Staake, 2022)
8. The National Panel of Reading associated 5 critical elements to reading comprehension (Staake, 2022)
9. Phonics Phonemic Awareness sounds correspond to letters students learn skills to start to decode unfamiliar words through phonics instruction hands-on approach presentation to practice direct application to reading and spelling (Richland, 2023)
10. Vocabulary Fluency understanding word meanings in text foundation of language development critical in reading comprehension comprehension speed accuracy reading with expression (Richland, 2023)
11. Comprehension ultimate goal of reading finding meaning interactive and strategic analyze and internalize text Assessment progress monitoring to inform instruction track data in different ways visual and diagnostic assessments (Wills, 2021) (Richland, 2023)
12. Key Ideas Strong emphasis on phonemic awareness and phonics methodically connects sounds with letters and sound patterns with groups of letters crucial for decreasing the learning gap between students of differing socioeconomic status a curriculum that grows deep knowledge in social studies, science, and the arts is critical Background knowledge and vocabulary are essential (King & Davis, 2022)
13. What does a Science of Reading Classroom look like? structured sequential curriculum intense phonics instruction hands-on repetition and practice fluent reading modeled comprehension skills language structure instruction phonemic awareness (Wills, 2021)
14. Example Lesson Plan Components Decoding - review sounds, blending and high-frequency words that have been previously taught Encoding - review letter sounds (auditory) Encoding - review high-frequency words Orthography - Explicitly teach 3-4 new high-frequency words using orthographic mapping Encoding - Dictation Decodable books - read each day with a different/specific 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. purpose, ex. fluency practice every day, letters/diagraphs/blends, high-frequency words, capital letters, punctuation (Wills, 2021)
15. (Richland, 2023)
16. Florida Center for Reading Research - printable student center activities for preschool to 5th grade The Institute of Education Sciences - website for families called Supporting Your Child’s Reading at Home What Works Clearinghouse has two teacher guides for early literacy: one focuses on foundational skills and the other on reading comprehension There are many great resources available to support implementation of The Science of Reading practices and an abundance of research to explore.
