Dear fellow educators,

In an effort to provide you with timely information in the field of literacy, we have compiled a glossary of terms that may prove to be beneficial to you. Enclosed you will find the first edition of VSLA’s Science of Reading Glossary for the classroom teacher. This can be a companion document for our latest publication series, The Collection, or it can be used as a guide towards a greater understanding of some of the terms of the Science of Reading.

In our first volume of the Glossary, we offer the fundamentals that are essential to understanding the Science of Reading. Our second edition of the Glossary will contain additional terms for your use in adapting to our changing literacy environment. For now, refer to our recently released thematic Collection for a deeper dive into the Science of Reading, and be on the lookout for the next edition of The Collection.
