Is the Science of Reading (SOR) a movement? A body of research? A rigid prescription for how to teach? This witty but serious--and very accessible--book distills both the intrinsic value and the notable limitations of current SOR approaches. Andrew P. Johnson provides crucial context for some of the claims about reading instruction that are frequently cited under the SOR banner. Twenty-one concise chapters separate fact from myth about commercial reading curricula; whole language approaches; decoding, phonics, and phonemic awareness; direct and explicit instruction; and the role of reading assessment. The book guides educators to become more discerning consumers of research so they can make informed instructional choices for diverse learners.

â€œThe problem with making reading, instruction, or related policies simple is that it requires cutting corners on details that matter for children and their teachers. What Johnson does instead is make things plain--plain enough for anyone to understand and for everyone to identify some common ground.â€--Rachael Gabriel, PhD, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, Neag School of Education, University of Connecticut-
