What Is Evidence-Based Reading Instruction?
The International Reading Association’s Position Paper.
To be described as “evidence based,” an instructional program or collection of practices should have been tested and shown to have a record of success. That is, reliable, trustworthy, and valid evidence indicates that when that program or set of practices is used, children can be expected to make
adequate gains in reading achievement. “Research-based instruction” is sometimes used to convey the same meaning.
Read this statement to understand what “evidence-based” means and does not mean.
