Holly Lane, the Director of the University of Florida Literacy Institute (UFLI) and an associate professor of special education, provides a brief overview of the science of reading and the different bodies of research that contribute to it.
In this overview from Calgary Reads, learn about the two key segments of Scarborough’s Reading Rope: Word recognition and language comprehension. By building on these two strands, we can create a rope to bridge the gap between reading well and struggling to read.
This model illustrates that as decoding subskills become increasingly automatic and language comprehension subskills become increasingly strategic, skilled reading occurs.
