Overview
Literacy skills among learners of all ages and grade-levels across the state and nation are under a microscope. The rate of reading achievement nationally in 2019 on the NAEP assessments in grades 4, 8, and 12 indicate that approximately 34% of students read proficiently at their grade level. As outcome data such as this becomes more readily available at the local, state, and national levels, literacy instruction leading to these data will face scrutiny. Decades of reading research, also known as the Science of Reading, brings together thousands of research studies from across disciplines that outline how individuals learn to read and what might be happing when they don’t. The Science of Reading research also identifies what kind of instruction is most likely to achieve reading success for most learners. The instructional elements outlined in this research should be seen as evidence-based practices and should be looked for within instruction for all students and in any program selected to teach reading.
