In today’s classrooms, educators are constantly searching for strategies that not only engage students but also produce lasting results. Two key resources—John Hattie's extensive research on what works in education and the growing body of knowledge known as the science of reading—offer powerful insights into how students learn best. But how do these two frameworks intersect, and what can they teach us about improving literacy outcomes? In this post, we’ll explore the critical connections between Hattie’s data-driven findings and the science of reading, uncovering how we can apply these proven strategies to ensure every child becomes a confident, capable reader. Whether you’re a teacher, tutor, or school leader, understanding this connection can transform your approach to literacy instruction.
