THE SCIENCE OF READING: WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW

February 11, 2023 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Have you heard of The Science of Reading? This is a recent document that has
been released that is transforming the way we teach children to read.

This research has taken place over many decades and involves professionals from
all different areas of child development. Thanks to this in-depth, longitudinal
research, we now KNOW how children learn to read.

We no longer need to speculate or guess. Thanks to The Science of Reading, we
know how children learn to read – and equally important, we know what doesn’t
work.

Not surprisingly in the least, this research has shown how important the early
years are to later reading success. Again – no pressure for those of us with
toddlers and preschoolers!

Now this is a big body of research and feels a bit complex to look through – if
only there was someone out there eager to look through such a huge body of
research and summarize it into what parents really need to know about The
Science of Reading.

OH Wait! (She says as she pushes her glasses back on her nose and takes a long
drink of her tea) That’s ME!






ALRIGHT, MY FRIEND, LET’S DIVE IN (BRIEFLY). WHAT IS THE SCIENCE OF READING?

The Science of Reading tells us exactly how children learn to read. All
children. This is how brains develop the skills needed for reading. With this
research, we know that children can learn to read once they have these skills in
place.

Some children will be ready to learn to read earlier than others, of course,
just as some children are ready to walk earlier than others, but children will
develop reading in this way.


HERE IS WHAT WE KNOW:

When teaching children to read, most reading difficulties can be prevented by
focusing on phonics and phonemic awareness, as well as with practice through
repetition of simple text.

We now know that memorization of words, or using the “three cueing system” is
ineffective.

The wonderful thing is that many educators have believed this to be the case for
years (ahem – me). While this buzz word phrase, The Science of Reading, is new –
the methods and skills are not.

Here is a beautiful way to highlight why learning phonics is more beneficial to
children than memorizing words:

When a child learns to read ten words, he can read ten words. But when a child
learns the sounds of ten letters, he can read:

 * 350 three-sound words
 * 4320 four-sound words
 * 21650 five-sound words

Isn’t that mind blowing! I found that information on IMSE Journal. While I am
all for research, I am not really in the mood to play with ten sounds to see if
I can come up with 21650 five-sound words, so I am just going to take their word
for it.

means? Grab my free phonological awareness guide as well as my Phonics Sound

SO, WHAT DOES THIS REALLY MEAN FOR THE PARENTS AND TEACHERS OF THE HOW WEE LEARN
COMMUNITY? 

It means peace of mind.

All of the resources you will find here on the How Wee Learn blog and over in
our Resource and Curriculum Shop are directly in line with The Science of
Reading.

Read alouds, comprehension, and literacy development begins in my Playful Days
Toddler Program (for little ones 18 months – 3 years)

Phonological Awareness and Phonics begin alongside teaching letters in my
Preschool Program Play into Kindergarten Readiness (for preschoolers 3-5 years).

Phonics and Phonological Awareness continues to be developed as we also
introduce building vocabulary and comprehension in Kindergarten at Home (for
children 4-6 years, or after completion of Play into Kindergarten Readiness)



These skills continue to be taught and revisited as we introduce reading
familiar texts, improving vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension in my Grade
School Programs (for children 6-8 years old).

This is the case for all of the resources you will find here.

And best of all, everything you will find here on How Wee Learn focuses on
Quality over Quantity. School work should not take all day. It is incredible
what can be accomplished in as little as 20 minutes of play a day.

So, now you know all you need to know about The Science of Reading AND you know
how to ensure your little one has the needed skills in their back pocket with
ease and beauty because of the How Wee Learn resources.

I read a quote the other day that I have been thinking of ever since: 

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest” – Benjamin Franklin

Knowledge really is power. Now that we know how little ones learn to read, we
can skip over everything that doesn’t work and simply give them what they need.

Any questions? Just leave a comment on this blog post – I will be sitting here
ready to push my glasses back on my nose and all too keen to grab another cup of
tea and dive in.

Life is so much more beautiful when we learn new things together.

Thank you so much for reading,

xo
Sarah
