Featured article — The Reading League
The Reading League Journal — Science of Reading SummariesThe school year closes with a look forward. The Reading League Journal translates current reading research into classroom practice, with peer-reviewed articles on everything from orthographic mapping to effective intervention scheduling.
For educators planning summer professional learning, it's a curated bridge between the science of reading and Monday-morning instruction — grounded, practical, and aligned with how students with dyslexia actually learn.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The science of reading is a body of research, not a single program — stay curious and skeptical of shortcuts.
- Orthographic mapping explains how words become 'sight words' through decoding practice, not memorization.
- Summer professional learning pays off most when it changes core instructional routines.
