The Science of Reading

Strobel Education's Science of Reading professional development equips educators with a thorough understanding of the research-based principles that underpin effective reading instruction. Drawing on decades of research from developmental psychology, cognitive science, educational psychology, and neuroscience, this training explores how the human brain learns to read and translates that science into practical, classroom-ready instructional strategies. The training is organised into focused modules covering the foundational components of the Science of Reading: what the research reveals about how students learn to read, structured literacy as a proven approach for all learners (including those with dyslexia), phonemic awareness instruction for early reading success, phonics decoding, orthographic mapping, and language comprehension. Strobel Education offers this professional development in multiple formats—including live virtual workshops, self-paced online courses, and customised on-site training for schools and districts—making it accessible regardless of location or scheduling constraints. Educators leave with research-based instructional practices that incorporate the multiple components of literacy and a clear understanding of why these approaches work, enabling them to close reading achievement gaps and improve outcomes for all learners.
