Discover the science behind how children learn to read and how the HighScope Curriculum uses an active learning approach to support early literacy development in preschool-aged children. In this document, we explore the key components of the Science of Reading (SoR), including phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, and how these are supported in the HighScope Curriculum through the development of foundational literacy skills, such as phonological awareness, alphabetic principle, oral language development, vocabulary building, and story comprehension. We also discuss how HighScope integrates Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) with evidence-based literacy instruction, ensuring instruction matches children’s developmental stages.
