Supporting teachers in designing appropriate literacy instruction requires that the reading/literacy specialists understand the science of reading and the essential components of literacy. Students who have a strong foundation in literacy have later success as readers and writers as well as in other content areas. It is critical in supporting student success that reading/literacy specialists assist teachers in planning and implementing research-based best practices in the components of literacy.
