Literacy Teaching and the Science of Reading

Dr. Brenda Stein Dzaldov

Instructor, Curriculum, Teaching and Learning, OISE, University of Toronto

This session reviews 50 years of evidence-based literacy research and practice. Participants will examine why some approaches gained traction while others were discredited, and how educational trends influence classroom instruction. Drawing on the science of learning, the session offers tools for critically evaluating literacy methodologies and moving beyond educational fads.
