Ep. 153: Science of Reading Beyond Phonics: Fluency Instruction and Assessment with Jan Hasbrouck


In this July 2023 episode of Melissa and Lori Love Literacy Podcast, Jan Hasbrouck shares tips and tricks for how to best assess and teach fluency. She also debunks frequent fluency misunderstandings and explains the scientific evidence that underlies the Hasbrouck-Tindal Oral Reading Fluency Chart.    

The Science of School Leadership

As elementary schools shift from a balanced literacy focus to a Science of Reading focus, principals are often unclear about what types of feedback they should provide to teachers. Yet instructional feedback is a key element to increasing literacy scores in our schools.   In this webinar, Pati Montgomery delves into some of the critical instructional components that should be a part of “look-fors” for elementary principals.

Emily Hanford Podcast: Sold a Story

Sold a Story: How Teaching Kids to Read Went So Wrong

There's an idea about how children learn to read that's held sway in schools for more than a generation — even though it was proven wrong by cognitive scientists decades ago. Teaching methods based on this idea can make it harder for children to learn how to read. In this podcast, host Emily Hanford investigates the influential authors who promote this idea and the company that sells their work. It's an exposé of how educators came to believe in something that isn't true and are now reckoning with the consequences — children harmed, money wasted, an education system upended.

Emily Hanford's Reporting

What the Words Say: Many kids struggle with reading - and children of color are far less likely to get the help they need

A false assumption about what it takes to be a skilled reader has created deep inequalities among U.S. children, putting many on a difficult path in life. 


How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers

For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't know there's anything wrong with it.


Experts say widely used reading curriculum is failing kids

A first of its kind review finds Lucy Calkins' materials don't align with the science of reading.


Why aren't kids being taught to read?

Scientific research has shown how children learn to read and how they should be taught. But many educators don't know the science and, in some cases, actively resist it. As a result, millions of kids are being set up to fail.

Seattle Times: What, exactly, does science say about reading instruction?

Katherine Long, Special to the Seattle Times

For the last 40 years, scientists across a number of disciplines have studied how our brains turn abstract symbols, or letters, into words — in short, how we learn to read. Full Story

Seattle Times: Revamping reading: Join conversation with and for educators about the science of reading 

Katherine Long and Anne Hillman, Seattle Times

How is this “science of reading” type of instruction different from what’s being used in Seattle-area districts? To help answer that question, we’re going to host a weeklong, online forum on The Seattle Times website. We’ll take your questions about how reading is taught, and pose them to some of the Pennsylvania educators who contributed to the Dec. 1 story and to local educators who are trying to make similar changes.
