Why does the science of reading matter?
Decades of research and evidence have clarified what truly works in literacy assessment and instruction. Built on this guidance, our science of reading programs help teachers succeed in closing persistent literacy gaps.
50 years of research-driven innovation
The science of reading has been driving NWEA’s evidence-based programs for years, long before the recent legislation requiring schools to use evidence-based methods for teaching students how to read. We remain committed to providing the research, tools, resources, and partnerships that are the keys to giving every child the best possible start on their amazing lifelong adventure!
