The Simple View of Reading (SVR) provides a theoretical framework for understanding reading comprehension but doesn’t offer specific pedagogical strategies. To bridge this gap, in modules 2 and 3 of our course, we will explore practical strategies to enhance both decoding skills and language comprehension.
To help highlight these examples, we'll use video clips from Let's Learn to showcase research-aligned best practices for teaching reading. Let’s Learn is a public media series developed by expert educators, designed to be accessible and grounded in the science of reading.
For more context, watch this short video that introduces the series, as examples from it will be frequently used throughout the modules of this course.
