Science of Reading + Writing Awareness
Congratulations! You’re ready to explore the why behind what works in reading and writing. You might’ve heard about “the science of reading,” but now you’re digging deeper—wanting to understand how brains learn to read and how instruction can better support that process.
You’re asking smart questions:
What does this research mean for my classroom?
How do I match instruction to what students really need?
And how do I know if it’s working?
This is the perfect moment to look more closely at your assessment tools. Many teachers at this stage begin using reliable screeners and diagnostics to identify gaps in decoding, fluency, or language development. These don’t replace your instincts—they amplify them. When you start pairing strong instructional shifts with clear data, everything starts to make more sense.
You're not just learning about the science—you’re starting to use it. And that’s where confidence grows.
Get ready—this is where clarity starts to click.

Bring your notes to a team session, try the See–Think–Wonder thinking routine:
See: What do we notice in these resources that mirrors or challenges our current approach?
Think: What do we think this means for our students?
Wonder: What questions do we now have about where to go next?
Collect team reflections and wonderings in a shared document or Padlet. These will help shape the next stage of your literacy journey, from choosing new resources to deepening practice over time.
