DYSTINCT CONTRIBUTORS
READING POTENTIAL DUAL FACTOR READING • Reading is the foundation for all learning, yet many schools continue to see gaps in literacy achievement, particularly for older struggling readers. These gaps are not a reflection of teacher effort or skill—they are a legacy of teaching practices that were never fully aligned to how the brain learns to read. Decades of research from the Science of Reading confirm that literacy must be explicitly taught, systematically supported, and reinforced through meaningful engagement with text.
