Science of Reading Fundamentals Microcredential

We’re so happy to be able to offer this high-value microcredential at a cost of just $50, thanks to the tremendous level of interest and support we’ve received from education professionals to date.

The Science of Reading Fundamentals introduces innovative, evidence-based tools and concepts that are a valuable complement to any P-12 literacy curriculum and a useful starting point for anyone interested in the latest research about how children learn to read.

This fully online, self-paced curriculum leads to 35 Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) credits that support NYS teachers’ professional certification. Flexibility is built in: enrollees will have up to six months from their date of registration to complete the microcredential on the schedule that works best for them.

This curriculum includes units on Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary and Comprehension. Modules are supplemented by a series of expert webinars presented by our Science of Reading Center of Excellence.  

66% of fourth-graders in the United States read “below proficient” according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Low-income and minority children fare even worse. Together, we can improve literacy rates for the children of New York and beyond.
