An Overview of the 

Science of Reading (SOR)

The Science of Reading is a term used to describe effective, evidence-based literacy practices that have been determined through research in many fields to support the human brain with building and strengthening connections between neurons related to the processors of the brain involved in reading.  It is based on over 50 years of research in a variety of fields, including education, school psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, communication sciences, and special education.
