Science of Reading

This sampling of resources represents a range of perspectives on the science of reading (SOR), a term that ILA defines as “a convergence of accumulated and evolving findings from research regarding reading processes and reading instruction (pedagogy) and how the two are implemented across contexts that interactively bridge cultural, social, biological, psychological, linguistic, and historical bases of learning.”
