Please consider this "neurocognitive approach" to reading instruction
Is this an illustration of a scientific approach to reading?
As a few of you may know, I’ve been trolling on Twitter recently, asking for nominees whom Tweeters consider advocates of #ScienceOfReading. There have been some wonderful responses.
Along the way, I came across this YouTube video advocating a “neurocognitive apporach” to reading. If you’re thinking about reading instruction, please take a look (6 min) and tell we SET readers what you think.
Would you consider Professsor Johnson an advocate of #ScienceOfReading? Please elaborate. Why? Why not?
I appreciate this exercise. I would not consider him an advocate of the science of reading as he didn’t provide sources or research that supported his claims.
I’m deeply concerned about the people and companies that market resources that say they’re based on science, but they’re not.
Very good point, Tina, about marketing that claims a scientific base. Too often, those claims are simply *claims,* nothing more.
