Abstract: The purpose of this panel discussion is to highlight recent contributions of the science of behavior to early reading instruction for P-12 children with and without disabilities. Proficient reading is foundational to an individual’s academic and social success. Yet, in the United States only 32% of fourth grade students read proficiently in 2022 - a statistic that is, in part, lower than previous years because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The science of behavior has identified research-based teaching operations that can offer improved early reading outcomes for school-age students. In this panel discussion, researchers and practitioners will discuss applications of the science of behavior to reading instruction and how it can be used by P-12 educators to improve early reading outcomes. Panelists will discuss how early reading is an extension of verbal development and how interventions from the science of verbal development can increase early reading outcomes. This panel is one of two panels that will highlight the contributions of the science of behavior to reading instruction.
