What is the Science of Reading? Understanding How Students Learn to Read

This is the recording of the Summer Tutor Engagement Series training that was led on Friday, September 13th, 2024. It was led by Reading Partners’ National Manager of Partnerships, Brettin White Fox, and National Program Director, Sarah Buss.

The webinar reviews key findings on how students learn to read from an established and growing body of research across a variety of fields (education, psychology, neuroscience, linguistics). If you ever wonder why some readers have difficulty mastering literacy skills, or how to most effectively assess and teach reading, this session is for you! You will leave this training understanding what we mean when we say Reading Partners is aligned to the science of reading, and how that alignment empowers you as your student’s tutor.
