What is the Science of Teaching Reading?

In this episode, I break down the science of teaching reading, both as the Texas certification exam and as the explicit, systematic, and recursive approach to instruction that every certification exam now tests. I walk you through the Fab Five foundational skills and explain what it means to be a “reading scientist” who uses ongoing assessment to target each student’s needs. I also share test-taking tips, including the keywords to look for and the answer choices to avoid on exam day. 🎥 Watch the full video for a deeper dive into this topic: What is the Science of Teaching Reading? 📖 Taking the STR 293?
