Supporting the Science of Reading

"The Science of Reading is the converging evidence on what matters and works in literacy instruction, organized around models that describe how and why.”

Cindy Jiban — The Science of Reading Explained

There is consensus around the following elements that make up the Science of Reading

There is consensus around the following elements that make up the Science of Reading

1

The Simple View of Reading, that Reading Comprehension equals Decoding plus Language Comprehension, continues to be supported.

2

Phonological awareness is needed for students to connect phonemes to letters in support of word decoding.

3

Phonics and word recognition are needed for students to understand letter sounds and the sounds within words.

4

Fluency practice, the oral reading and re-reading of connected text, is needed to develop the automaticity and prosody required to achieve text comprehension.

5

Vocabulary and oral language comprehension featuring read-aloud texts and language-rich interactions in instruction are needed to develop text comprehension.

6

Text comprehension is achieved via rich read-aloud texts and scaffolded reading, monitoring for meaning, building inferences, and discussing structures.

The RevLearning Suite is built from the ground up to assist teachers in implementing the Science of Reading.

FluencyRev™, PhonicsRev™, and EnglishRev™ all leverage advanced automated speech recognition developed by LanguaMetrics, Inc. LanguaMetrics’ technology is nearly a decade in development and is a world leader in the science of analyzing children’s oral reading.

LanguaMetrics’ technology has been helping children learn to read and speak the English language all over the world. It is based on the analysis of hundreds of thousands of recordings—carefully scored by expert human raters—to develop the world’s most advance scoring models for learners.

At the core of the Science of Reading is the ability to “sound out words”. All RevLearning Suite products provide visual feedback on each and every word the child reads!


  • The child is wearing a microphone headset and reading from the screen. The system quickly scores this audio for pronunciation accuracy and repaints the colors of the text to show the learner the words that were pronounced correctly (decoded and produced) and the words that need improvement (trouble decoding and or producing). This is the application of advanced technology to the traditional task of “sounding it out”.

  • The learner is receiving feedback on their oral reading as if a teacher or parent were sitting beside them pointing with a finger and properly pronouncing the words that were not properly decoded or uttered. This is a very powerful addition of science applied to Reading. It is the application of technology to the guidelines provided by the Science of Reading.

The focus in all RevLearning Suite products is on word level pronunciation accuracy

Every word the child reads is scored according to the advanced models developed specifically for children. PhonicsRev™ focuses on a standard systematic approach to the sounds of the language.

Each sound and blend and the standard combinations are available in individual models that can be assigned to students in accordance with any of the popular phonics methodologies.
