Reading Research

STAR is a project of the U.S. Department of Education that provides training and support for teachers of intermediate reading students in effective, evidence-based practices in the four major components of adult reading instruction: alphabetics, fluency,vocabulary, and comprehension.

This policy brief, What is Evidence-Based Reading Instruction and How Do You Know It When You See It?, defines and describes evidence-based reading instruction, demonstrates what evidence-based reading instruction looks like in the classroom, and discusses how evidence-based reading instruction has been implemented with the Los Angeles Unified School District.

This publication seeks to build adult literacy instructors' knowledge of scientifically based reading research.
