What is Decoding? - Landmark Outreach Explore the components of word recognition—phonemic awareness, phonics, and decoding. Learn how these elements combine in skilled reading, with explicit strategies for teaching and addressing decoding difficulties in students, especially those with learning differences.

Decoding is the foundation of the reading house. 🏠 Without the ability to translate print to speech, comprehension can't happen.

Check out our strategy post on the mechanics of decoding: https://ow.ly/HiZj50YpOu5

Fluency Interventions at the Word, Phrase, and Sentence Levels - Landmark Outreach Discover targeted fluency interventions at the word and phrase level to support struggling readers. Learn how strategies like rapid word recognition, rime patterns, and phrase chunking build automaticity, prosody, and overall reading fluency.

Fluency interventions work best when they aren't just "reading more." Try a hierarchical approach: Start at the word level, move to phrases, then sentences. Build that automaticity before moving to paragraphs!

What is Oral Reading Fluency? In addition to rate and accuracy, tone and expression are fundamental to oral reading fluency.

If decoding isn't automatic, comprehension suffers. 📖 Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) is the bridge that lets students focus on meaning.

parafoveal text is dynamically magnified during reading

New paper @cognitionjournal.bsky.social! 🔎 We investigated how readers process word beginnings using a novel gaze-contingent magnification technique. Magnifying peripheral text helped readers identify word-initial letters, but mainly for unpredictable or difficult words. #ReadingResearch

Image of children reading with text that says: "Tomorrow's kids will read because of today's science...but now the science of reading is in danger. Swipe to find out why, and what you can do to protect it.

A screenshot of a post from the Department of Education terminated 89 contracts worth $881mm. Text above it reads: What's Happening? In February, the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) announced cuts to contracts at the Institute of Educations Sciences (IES)

Image of blocks spellings out the word "RISK" and the text above reads: "Many advocates for the Science of Reading (SOR) were stunned, because IES is critical to the research that provides the foundation of what we know as SOR.

Image of a report card. Text reads: What is IES? IES funds and review educational research, keeps educational statistics, and administers the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), aka "the Nation's Report Card."

This is a week of action to Stand Up For Reading Research. We hope you'll join us. Swipe through for details and how to get started. #SaveIES #SoR #ReadingResearch. More in the comments.

I'm curious if I can crowdsource the expertise here on BlueSky. In a paper draft, I wrote something and, as I re-read it, I started wondering if it's true. Does anyone from the #ReadingResearch crowd disagree with the following section or know of relevant work? Thanks in advance!

Das ist ein wirklich interessantes Buch über Lesebiografien geworden:

科学家发现爱阅读的人的大脑与不爱阅读的人有差别

A study published in Neuroimage reveals that avid readers have distinct brain structures compared to non-readers.

Key areas in the left hemisphere related to language show differences, raising concerns about the decline in reading among youth.
