The science of reading has transformed the landscape of literacy instruction by grounding reading pedagogy in decades of cognitive, linguistic, and neuroscientific research. Built on five key pillars, phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, science of reading research emphasizes sound-letter relationships, in contrast to the traditional three-cueing system, which encourages students to guess words based on pictures. Yet, as the conversation around reading science has evolved, so too has the recognition that reading is far more than a set of discrete skills; it is a deeply cognitive, emotional, social, and cultural process. There remains a pressing need for interdisciplinary research that examines literacy through a broader, more integrated lens-one that honors the complexity of how humans think, feel, and connect through reading. Cognitive Foundations of Reading: A Multidimensional Framework for the Science of Literacy bridges the gap between scientific research and the lived realities of learners and educators by examining the interplay among brain-based processes, language systems, motivation, self-regulation, and social context in literacy development. This book moves the field beyond the science of reading toward a comprehensive science of literacy, integrating cognition, emotion, and human connection to strengthen teaching, learning, and overall flourishing. Covering topics such as cognitive foundations of reading, reading instruction, and social-emotional learning, this book is an indispensable academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, teacher educators, literacy specialists, practicing teachers, instructional coaches, administrators, curriculum designers, policymakers, and more.
