MSJ Center for Reading Science
The purpose of the Center for Reading Science is to support educators in implementing the science of reading in their classrooms and communities. Our center aims to provide trusted information and resources to help educators bridge the research-to-practice gap and provide evidence-based practices in preschool through adolescent literacy.
We offer open-source curricula, an annual conference, professional development, and center membership to support educators both locally and nationally.
