What Matters Most? Toward a Robust and Socially Just Science of Reading

""Science of reading" has become a rallying term in education, but its dominant usage narrows the goal of reading instruction to little more than assessed proficiency. Aukerman's 2021 article proposes a different framework for the science of reading, one that draws on existing literacy research in ways that could broaden and deepen instruction, centering four literate roles: code breaker, text participant, text user, and text analyst."
