READS Lab's Principal Investigator, James Kim, discussed the lessons from the Science of Reading on a webinar from Harvard Graduate School of Education's Education Now.

Key takeaways included:

⭐ Progress has been made in the science of reading simple texts, but now progress is needed in reading complex non-fiction texts.

⭐ Children need the opportunity to engage in challenging texts and to make meaning of those texts together with other children.

⭐ Students need to learn words deeply, including pronunciations and spellings, and how to transfer their knowledge and understanding to different contexts.
