The science of reading recognizes the contributions cognitive psychology and neuroscience have made in our understanding of learning to read. Much of the focus has been on children learning to read, but in this course we will focus on how we can use what we know through the SOR to understand the role decoding and phonics may play in reading gaps among children fourth grade and older. In this course, teachers of students 4-12 will get an overview of what science tells us about decoding, explore how phonics plays an inextricable role in successful reading, and examine strategies and interventions that can be used to support the older student in developmentally appropriate ways.
