The Science of Reading

First things first: educational resources must be effective. To make sure that ours measure up, we’ve done extensive research on 1.) the neuroscience behind how brains learn to read and 2.) the best way to teach children to read. What we found is that the Science of Reading is compatible with the way our brains acquire literacy skills and is aligned with best practices in reading education. Explore the resources below to learn more about this school of thought (pun intended).
