The science of reading is an evidence-based approach to teaching and learning that draws upon decades of research in cognitive science, linguistics, and psychology. It aims to understand how the brain processes written language and identifies the most effective strategies for teaching reading skills.
Understanding the science of reading is crucial because it provides educators with insight into the most effective instructional methods. By aligning teaching practices with research-based strategies, we can better support learners in developing strong reading skills, comprehension, and language proficiency.
At Voyager Sopris Learning®, we provide resources and guidance about implementing the science of reading in educational settings. Our expert team and authors have curated a range of tools, strategies, and instructional materials that align with evidence-based practices, empowering educators to deliver high-quality reading instruction.
