Session Submission Type: Alternative Format Session
In this alternative session we advance a theoretical perspective that repositions the Science of Reading within the wider context of literacy development for grades 3–6. We argue that as learners mature, the act of reading increasingly involves the interplay of oral discourse, writing, motivation, and critical thinking—dimensions that are essential for navigating more sophisticated texts. By integrating insights from contemporary studies, our approach moves beyond literacy mechanics to embrace a comprehensive model.
