Exposing Paucity in the Science of Reading and other Approaches

Tiffany M. Nyachae, PhD | Penn State University But What Did Black Educators Already Teach Us about Reading Instruction? Exposing Paucity in the Science of Reading and other Approaches The reading achievement of Black students is often cited as deficient and representative of a larger reading “crisis” in the United States to advance the Science of Reading (SOR) and other mainstream approaches to reading instruction. Yet, Black educators’ historical and contemporary reading expertise and practices with Black students are not seriously studied or even considered in prevailing debates around effective instructional methods for reading proficiency. For this reason, Nyachae cautions Black educators against hastily taking any side in current reading debates. Merging her personal experiences as a literacy teacher, the reading instructional practices of Black educators in segregated schools and the concerns of Black educators today, Nyachae invites educators to consider the reading processes, expertise and sciences of Black educators who were successful in developing reading proficiency among Black students while remaining rooted in liberation and social justice. Significantly, what constitutes science, sound reading instruction and evidence matter in efforts to eradicate reading inequities.
