The ability to read, and read well, opens up doors academically, professionally, and personally. We know that learning to read is not a natural process, yet watching a child fluently read a book he or she loves is nothing short of a work of art. Fortunately, how children learn to read, and best practices for teaching reading, are some of the most studied aspects of human learning. The science of reading has established that there are critical elements of reading instruction that when delivered in a systematic and explicit manner, result in reading proficiency (Vaughn, 2020).
