Getting 69传媒 Right
View Education Week鈥檚 latest coverage of reading and literacy.
Editor鈥檚 Note
The early years of reading instruction are critical鈥攖here鈥檚 little disagreement about that.
But how exactly should reading be taught during that time? That鈥檚 been the subject of an abundance of research over the last century鈥攁nd as much debate.
In this series, 鈥淕etting 69传媒 Right,鈥 Education Week interrogated the cognitive science behind how kids acquire foundational reading skills, with a focus on the earliest elementary readers, in kindergarten through 2nd grade. Through reporting, explainers, opinion pieces, surveys, and multimedia features, we explored what teachers know about reading and where they learned it, as well as the challenges they face in bringing the research to fruition in K-2 classrooms.
