The Science of Reading is a large body of research on how children learn to read. Gathered over the past 40 years, this evidence-based body of knowledge highlights the most effective strategies for teaching children how to read. For example, the Science of Reading indicates that students need systematic, explicit instruction in the following critical elements of reading: phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. When students are directly taught these essential skills while they are learning to read, they will have a better chance at becoming successful readers.
23% of third graders with below-basic reading skills do not graduate high school by age 19.1
82% of sixth graders who failed an English class did not go on to graduate high school. 2
70% more math and science questions are answered correctly by students with strong reading skills.3
