What You Need to Know About the Science of Reading as a Tutor
The science of reading may be a familiar or unfamiliar term for you. Today I am going to dive deeper into what is the science of reading and how do we use it to inform our instruction. Louisa Moats said Teaching reading is rocket science. This means that it is complicated, but if we know what the main components are and the best strategies to teach those components, we gain clarity on what we need to do for all kids to get them reading. According to the NAEP, 65% of the students in the United States are below grade level. If the science of teaching reading and a student’s zone of proximal development are matched, we can easily close this gap and create more proficient readers regardless if they have dyslexia or not.
