The Science of Reading Literacy Briefs
The New York State Education Department released a new series of literacy briefs that focus on the science of reading. These briefs were produced by Dr. Nonie K. Lesaux, Professor of Education and Human Development at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Katie C. Carr, M.Ed. The new literacy briefs may be used to strengthen knowledge of evidence-based literacy practices in PK-12 education.
The New York State Education Department (NYSED), in collaboration with the BOCES and Big 5 school districts, hosted a statewide literacy conference. This hybrid event provided New York State teachers, administrators, and literacy leaders with an opportunity to strengthen their knowledge of evidence-based literacy practices in PK-12 education as educators from across the state came together to focus on research-based practices and the science of reading to support students’ learning and development.
Participants had the opportunity to learn about the seven literacy briefs with the NYSED team and keynote speaker Dr. Nonie K. Lesaux. Dr. Lesaux is the Roy Edward Larsen Professor of Education and Human Development at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
On the following pages, the presentations by Dr. Lesaux and Katie C. Carr, edited to remove questions and takeaway from participants, introduce the briefs so that you have the same context that was presented in the live event.
