TRT Podcast#49: SOR Bootcamp #5 – What does research say about the Big 5?

We know that the science of reading isn’t a curriculum, a fad, or a pendulum swing. It’s a body of research. So what does this research tell us about the Big 5? What does the science of reading have to say about phonological/phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary? In this episode we’ll examine the research and make practical applications to our teaching. Share this 6-week podcast series with friends who want to learn more about the science of reading.

    Looking forward to listening to this!

    I read the transcript. BTW, I think you spelled ‘rime’ incorrectly in Onset and Rime.

      Thanks for catching that! We pay a service to transcribe our podcasts, and its people aren’t as familiar with these terms. 🙂
