# Exploring Common Misconceptions about the Science of Reading

## On-Demand Webinar

## Science of Reading Webinar Series, Part 2

In the second installment of our Science of Reading webinar series, we unpack four common misconceptions associated with the Science of Reading:

- *“The Science of Reading is limited to the acquisition of foundational skills, specifically, phonics.” *
- *“The only type of instruction aligned with the Science of Reading is direct instruction.”*
- *“All high-frequency words must be taught with a phoneme-grapheme mapping technique.”*
- *“Students should exclusively read highly-controlled, decodable texts.”*

In this webinar, you'll get clarity about what the body of research says, learn about the theoretical models often referenced, and hear explicit examples that connect research to classroom instruction.
