The science of reading is a vast body of scientific evidence that describes how people learn to read. It draws from multiple fields, including education, linguistics, cognitive psychology, special education, and neuroscience. Understanding how brains typically process sound and print to read helps educators understand efficient, explicit instructional methods that are proven to work. Knowledge of the science of reading guides schools as they intervene with students struggling to learn how to read.
