Literacy Coaching

Literacy Coaching Grounded in the Science of Reading

At Buse Education Services, we believe that every child can become a confident, capable reader when instruction is rooted in proven, research-based methods. Our Literacy Coaching model is grounded in the Science of Reading—a comprehensive body of evidence that identifies the most effective ways to teach reading based on how the brain learns to read.

What is the Science of Reading?

The Science of Reading refers to decades of research from cognitive science, neuroscience, and education that highlights how students learn to read and what instructional practices lead to reading success. This evidence emphasizes the importance of systematically developing foundational skills such as:

  • Phonemic awareness
  • Phonics
  • Fluency
  • Vocabulary
  • Comprehension

Our coaching ensures these components are explicitly taught and integrated across K–8 classrooms using high-quality instructional materials and aligned with Mississippi’s College and Career Readiness Standards (MS CCRS).

What Our Literacy Coaching Includes
