Bridging Sciences: An Integrated Approach to Supporting Student Literacy Development
Articles & Briefs Bridging Sciences: An Integrated Approach to Supporting Student Literacy Development CASEL
May 14, 2024

We are at a pivotal time in our country. As reading achievement declines pre-and post-COVID-19, large portions of our nation’s students continue to be underserved by our education system while many teachers do not have needed support to provide evidence-based literacy instruction (NAEP, 2024). In this white paper, CASEL and leading researchers across diverse disciplines urge policymakers to consider the full breadth of research on literacy to enable strong reading development and to improve teacher knowledge and their ability to deliver rigorous instruction. We demonstrate evidence for an integrated approach to building foundational reading skills that also focus on comprehension, language, knowledge, and social and emotional learning.
