The Science of Reading is a free professional learning community that provides educators with more guidance, research, and resources on the science of reading.

The science of reading provides proven, evidence-based practices about how to best teach reading and support students of all abilities. Teaching students to read is complex. Some students seem to pick it up intuitively, while others struggle, and it can be difficult to identify why. The science of reading can help every student learn to read, but it is a large body of evidence that can be difficult to understand without proper guidance. That’s why learning to teach reading is a complex process.

The good news is we know more today about the essential components of effective reading instruction than ever before—how children learn to read, the causes of reading difficulties and how to prevent them. The science of reading incorporates decades of research into how students learn and how reading should be taught for a wide range of learners. Despite the overwhelming data, the science of reading was not part of many educators’ training.
