Bringing the Science of Reading to Your Classroom

The science of reading tells us that students need to learn how to recognize
words and make meaning of them with increasing fluency to become skilled
readers. Since this learning process is complex, it can be difficult to align
reading instruction with the science of reading without the right instructional
tools. Evidence-based curriculum materials allow students to build literacy
skills in the context of coherent, knowledge-rich texts, and they are key to
unlocking the science of reading in every classroom.

Through this white paper, you will learn

• the essential components of evidence-based literacy instruction and
  
• how Wit & Wisdom^®, Geodes^®, and foundational skills programs work
  harmoniously together to support evidence-based literacy instruction.
