What are the Contributions of Writing Research to the Science of Reading?
Reading and writing instruction have a history of shared and separate components. We talk about this history and the most current research on how classrooms that use the science of reading to inform their literacy instruction can incorporate writing to improve reading, writing, and content area outcomes. See issue 1 of 2023 in The Reading League Journal for the article written by Dr. Truckenmiller and doctoral student, Brennan Chandler.
