The Research aka Knowledge Base

Advances in reading science since 2000 offer important contributions to our understanding of how children learn to read and how adults teach children to read. We now know that listening comprehension plays a crucial role in students’ listening comprehension.

Advances in reading science since 2000 offer important contributions to our understanding of how children learn to read and how adults reach children to read. We now know that listening comprehension plays a crucial role in students’ reading comprehension development.

 

The Knowledge Base offers a curated set of recent evidence-based research findings intended to help practitioners better understand listening comprehension and its connections to other literacy skills (such as word reading, reading fluency, background knowledge, and reading comprehension).

We recommend you begin on Section 1: Introduction to Listening Comprehension, and work to complete each section sequentially.
