Phonics alone won’t solve the literacy crisis.

Natalie Wexler's new book: Beyond the Science of Reading: Connecting Literacy Instruction to the Science of Learning advocates, which connects the science of reading to the broader science of learning.

Key Points:

  • The current reading crisis is fundamentally a learning crisis.
  • Cognitive science principles, such as retrieval practice, should apply to all learning.
  • Advocating for a knowledge-building curriculum supports all students, particularly those who struggle.
  • Writing instruction should start with explicit techniques.
  • All teachers should integrate literacy within their content.

Beyond the Science of Reading advocates for an integrated approach to literacy that combines cognitive science principles with literacy instruction, emphasizing content knowledge, explicit writing instruction, and cross-disciplinary teaching to boost student success.
