Reading is foundational for all content within schools, so this first course in a larger series introduces learners to the best practices of reading instruction. These practices are aligned to the Science of Reading – decades of research that identifies how we learn to read. Specifically, you will learn how reading comprehension relates to the brain’s processing of external stimuli while being introduced to the five essential components of reading.
