Don’t have time to read a book on the #ScienceOfReading, its importance and implications? Try watching a film or documentary instead!

"Scientific research evidence doesn’t say DON'T teach comprehension skills and strategies explicitly; it says don’t ONLY teach comprehension skills and strategies explicitly." New blog post from @buckingham_j about the evidence.

“The science of teaching should be getting the same- if not more-attention than the science of reading.”
How we teach should be just as important as what we need to teach to ensure ALL our students learn to read.
