"The science of reading has culminated in a preponderance of evidence to inform how proficient reading and writing develop; why some have difficulty; and how we can most effectively assess and teach and, therefore, improve student outcomes through prevention of and intervention for reading difficulties.

Although the scientific evidence base for effective reading has existed for decades, the term “the science of reading” has gained traction in the last few years, potentially leading to misunderstandings. The Science of Reading: Defining Guide provides a firm definition of what the science of reading is, what it is not, and how all stakeholders can understand its potential to transform reading instruction."

By Amplify Education. A podcast that dives into different elements of the Science of Reading.

Susan Lambert is joined by Dr. Brittney Bills, educator and recent Science of Reading Star Award Winner to discuss MTSS. Dr. Bills began her journey as a school psychologist for six years before transitioning to the role of curriculum coordinator at Grand Island Public Schools. In this episode, Dr. Bills explains what MTSS is and how it centers on prevention rather than intervention. She talks about the intersection of universal screening data and MTSS and provides advice on evidence-based strategies and techniques to make a positive impact in your classroom. Using examples from her own district, Dr. Bills discusses avoiding burnout, learning to use data, and the process of ongoing improvement.

Recent discussions occurring online, in journals, and at conferences are creating uncertainties about what phonological awareness instruction will be most effective with which children. This guide addresses some of these questions by using what we currently know from the scientific research, from teacher experiences, and from observations in clinical teaching environments for children who struggle with reading.

The outline of the resource includes:
Section 1. Reading Research, Instructional Practice, and Phoneme Awareness
1.1 When should reading research influence instructional practices?
1.2 What is Phonological Awareness? Why is it Important?
Section 2. The Who, When, What, and How of Teaching Phonemic Awareness
2.1 Who needs to be taught phoneme awareness?
2.2 When should phonological awareness instruction begin?
2.3 What phonemic awareness skills should be taught?
2.4 How should phonological awareness instruction begin?
2.5 How much phonological awareness time should involve phonemic awareness activities?
2.6 Is there any value in beginning phonological awareness instruction with larger units, such
as syllables?
2.7 Do onset-rime activities have a role in early phonemic awareness instruction?
2.8 What are manipulatives and how can I use them when teaching phoneme awareness?
2.9 Is it important to teach phoneme awareness with tasks like phoneme deletion and
substitution?
Using sound chains to teach phoneme awareness

" Translate the current research on reading into classroom practices that teachers can deploy tomorrow. We know that reading is an active process that is impacted by the text, task, and sociocultural context in which the reading occurs."
