More than four decades of peer-reviewed research informs our understanding of reading development and instruction. This large body of scientific evidence is known as the Science of Reading.
Scholastic understands the importance of explicit literacy instruction.
We provide research-based print and digital literacy solutions. Our tools support both whole-class and small-group instruction, as well as independent learning.
Together, we can help every student learn to read, read to learn, and love doing both.

Support Teachers with Foundational Literacy Instruction Grounded in Science
Learning to read with fluency and comprehension requires mastering a set of complex skills that help readers decode and understand words in a text. Skilled teachers, informed and supported by reliable data and effective instructional strategies, can effectively differentiate instruction for children, helping them develop a lifelong love of reading and learning.
In this series we offer practical approaches for applying what we know about the science of reading to classroom instruction.
Proven Routines to Put All Children on the Path to Proficient Reading
Julia B. Lindsey’s evidence-backed routines help young readers decode words efficiently so they can spend more energy on comprehending—and enjoying—what they read!
“Teachers require the correct tools and knowledge to deliver the explicit instruction that enables students to successfully practice and cement their learning, and embark on a path to reading proficiency.”
