[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is science of reading capitalized? I know OG is evidence-based, but I’m having trouble understanding the difference between SofR and OG?

Thank you![/quote]
The new “science of reading” movement, explained https://www.vox.com/23815311/science-of-reading-movement-literacy-learning-loss

"The definition of “science of reading” — a term first used in reading instruction in the 1830s — has evolved over the decades. Today, it primarily refers to cognitive research that pertains to what happens in the brains of strong and poor readers, and is frequently a shorthand for deploying more classroom time on phonics, with its emphasis on learning to sound out words."

I don't totally agree with Vox here.  SoR advocates are talking about the research on fluency, vocabulary, morphology, and other aspects of comprehension too.

Orton-Gillingham: Which Aspects are Supported by Research and Which Require Additional Research https://www.thereadingleague.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/TRLJ-Feature-October-2023.pdf

“The Orton-Gillingham Approach (OG) is a direct, explicit, multisensory, structured, sequential, diagnostic, and prescriptive way to teach literacy when reading, writing, and spelling do not come easily to individuals, such as those with dyslexia”

Multisensory is the aspect that requires additional research.  The rest of OG lines up pretty well with SoR.  [/quote]
