Reading is an essential component of learning. When students struggle in a subject area, it is often because they have underdeveloped reading skills. This course is grounded in the science of reading — a body of research that integrates insights from cognitive science, linguistics, and education to understand how students learn to read and how to teach them effectively.

In this course, you will explore evidence-based practices for reading instruction that prioritize explicit, systematic instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. It seeks to equip teachers to become better instructors and support diverse learners across all content areas and grade levels. You’ll gain practical tools and resources to assess students' reading development, identify areas of need, and apply targeted interventions to close skill gaps. 

Explore the fundamentals of reading, reading assessment, and instructional strategies, and gear up to make your students more proficient readers!
