What’s the Deal with the Science of Reading?
The Science of Reading advocates seem to be putting out a great deal of misinformation about reading instruction. Literacy experts are being ignored in favor of radio journalists. For-profit entities are promoting ideas that serve only to enhance their profit at the expense of our students.
This webinar will explain exactly what the science of reading is and isn’t. It will provide a simple understanding of balanced literacy, the three cueing systems, evidence-based practices, eye movement during reading, word identification, word recognition, phonics instruction, phonemic awareness, direct instruction, and educational research. There will be plenty of time for discussion. Join us with your questions and comments.
