The Science of Reading: Why PlaBook’s Approach is Backed by Research

Reading is one of the most fundamental skills a child can develop, but not all reading instruction is created equal. Decades of research have shown that the most effective way to teach reading is through the Science of Reading—a structured approach that emphasizes explicit phonics instruction, fluency, and comprehension. At PlaBook, we’ve built our platform around these principles, ensuring that children don’t just learn to read but develop the skills to become confident, lifelong readers.

What is the Science of Reading?

The Science of Reading is based on extensive research in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and education. It reveals that reading isn’t a naturally acquired skill like speaking; instead, it must be systematically taught. The key components include:

• Phonemic Awareness & Phonics – Teaching children how sounds (phonemes) connect to letters (graphemes) helps them decode words effectively.

• Fluency – The ability to read smoothly and accurately, with proper expression, improves comprehension and confidence.

• Vocabulary & Comprehension – Understanding word meanings and their context ensures students grasp the deeper meaning of what they read.
