The science of reading has culminated in a preponderance of evidence to inform how proficient reading and writing develop why some have difficulty and how we can most effectively assess and teach and, therefore, improve student outcomes through prevention of and intervention for reading difficulties. This research has been conducted over the last five decades across the world, and it is derived from thousands of studies conducted in multiple languages.
