"The scores have been low for 30 or 35 years. They've never really been where they should be. So that, unfortunately, allows people to believe that nothing can be done, and we just keep on doing what we're doing. But now, the science of reading has garnered wider attention." – Maria Murray, Ph.D. In the School Administrators Association of New York State’s latest issue of Vanguard, Maria discusses decades of stagnant reading scores—and how evidence-aligned instruction can change the trajectory. The article “The Science of Reading: Retrospectives, Perspectives, and the Path Forward” explores why it’s time to move beyond tradition and embrace what the research has always shown about literacy.
