Through our Literacy Services, we help teachers to:

The Science of Reading

The Science of Reading is a vast, interdisciplinary body of scientifically-based research on reading and writing developed by the Defining Movement Coalition.

This research has been conducted worldwide over the last five decades and derives from thousands of studies in multiple languages. The Science of Reading explains:

How proficient reading and writing develop.
Why some learners have difficulty with reading.
How to assess and improve student outcomes through solutions for students with reading difficulties.

CORE’s reading, writing, and language professional learning services provide preK-12 schools with a framework to implement evidence-based reading and writing instructional strategies based on the Science of Reading.

CORE helps educators build and sustain knowledge and skills through well-structured courses, coaching, modeling, and mentoring. Courses and other professional learning support can be offered online or in person.
