Episode 56: Exploring the Science of Reading

Not Just Cute, the Podcast: Intentional Whole Child Development for Parents and Teachers of Young Children

I’ve talked and written a lot about early literacy over the years, but I’ve avoided one very popular term: The Science of Reading.

I decided to keep my head down and my work research-based and just stay out of the fray of nailing down the specific jargon. But with more and more states and districts requiring “Science of Reading compliant curriculum," it’s important for early childhood educators to know what that means, what it doesn’t mean, and how it impacts our practice.

If The Science of Reading is not a familiar term to you, no worries, we’re going to walk through it and some of the terms associated with it….and if you ARE familiar with the term, I hope you’ll bring whatever background knowledge you have and be ready to find some new perspectives here.
