    Episode 1: What the Science of Reading Really Means in Practice

    In this first episode of Reading Roundtable, Heather McCain explores what the Science of Reading really means in classroom practice. This coaching conversation clarifies common misconceptions, explains the importance of both word recognition and language comprehension, and connects research-aligned literacy instruction to practical K–5 classroom moves. Listeners will reflect on how strong core instruction, explicit teaching, vocabulary, background knowledge, and meaningful text-based discussion work together to support skilled reading. Reflection question: Where in your current literacy block are students receiving the strongest support for word recognition, and where are they receiving the strongest support for language comprehension?
