Emily Hanford: Discovering the Science of Reading: A Reporter’s Story 


Louisa Moats: Speech to Print: Reading’s Most Important Idea


Anita Archer: Motivation May Not Predict Achievement, BUT Achievement Does Predict Motivation


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.


You can find all of Emily's education reporting at APMreports.org.


Katherine Long's Reporting

What happened when schools used science to revamp how reading is taught

About a dozen Pennsylvania school districts are teaching their youngest students how to read using a new understanding of the way the brain learns to read.


Students with dyslexia struggle in Washington. Will a fresh approach to reading instruction be enough?

A new bill requires districts to screen children for signs of dyslexia. It will usher in major changes in the way all kids are taught.
