Hoot Reading lessons follow an evidence-based teaching model to provide reading instruction
to students that aligns with a Structured Literacy approach. Teachers work with each individual student to assess their needs as a reader and provide data-drive instruction in the two key areas of reading development; word-level reading (decoding) and language comprehension, in accordance with the large body of research commonly known as the Science of Reading.
