I was glad that there was a session that explained more about the Science of Reading. I have been hearing about this for several months, but I did not know much about it. It was helpful to go through a video about what the Science of Reading entails. The handout was also beneficial as it provides an overview of the components that make up the research in this initiative. It was helpful to discuss how SIM learning strategies and Content Enhancement Routines fit into this body of research and address many aspects of the reading and writing process that is needed to develop these comprehensive skills.
