Summary
Literacy Unlocked explores the pivotal role of early literacy instruction in shaping a child's reading development and overall academic success. This book equips listeners with research-backed insights and practical, accessible strategies to implement the science of reading to ensure future generations excel in literacy. Written by Amie Burkholder, K-5 literacy coach and CEO of Literacy Edventures, this book explores ideas including:



● The brain science of reading, with information on brain plasticity and the roles of the frontal, occipital-temporal, and parietal-temporal regions



● The disconnect in learning phonemic awareness and phonics separately, and why and how to address it as instructors



● Prerequisites for effective handwriting instruction, such as fine motor skills, pencil grip and posture, and understanding writing lines



● The importance of predictable routines in literacy instruction to help alleviate excessive student cognitive load, including the use of decodable texts

Literacy Unlocked is an essential resource for K-5 teachers, administrators, instructional assistants, reading specialists, and literacy coaches.©2025 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
