Hello Reading Research Recap readers!

Your monthly installment of the Reading Research Recap is here (and also on this page in case you want to bookmark the series).

To expand the understanding of research to inform teaching and learning strategies, I put together this monthly compendium of the relevant and must-read research that impacts the reading and learning landscape. I offer research highlights in digestible summary slices. Hopefully, the data and findings you see here are useful to you as researchers, educators, and district and edtech leaders.

This month, I discuss a paper on teaching vocabulary in early grades: Evaluating the impact of vocabulary instruction on oral vocabulary, phonemic awareness and nonword reading. We often think of vocabulary instruction as helping build rich semantic or meaning networks, but what if small tweaks to vocabulary instruction could also help promote word reading and phonemic awareness skill?

Yours in partnership,

Neena Saha, Ph.D.
