Session Submission Summary

Reimagining Literacy: Theoretical Foundations and Practical Applications for a New Science of Reading

Thu, December 4, 8:30 to 10:00am, Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino, Floor: Mezzanine Floor, Celebrity Ballroom 8

Session Submission Type: Alternative Format Session

Abstract

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.
