My three main takeaways from the Intro to Science of Reading that all reading instruction must be both systematic and explicit. All reading instruction can begin with some sort of letter recognition to be able to build up to be able to form the words that can be read. I also was able to learn that Scarborough’s rope is a great method to use to be able to build more fluent readers. I was also able to learn that we need to start to help readers that are struggling early to be able to decrease the chances of a struggling reader.
