Education
Reading and Literacy
AIR's reading and literacy research spans all ages and grades, from early childhood to adulthood, and focuses on literacy in school and in the workplace.
AIR's varied methodologies include quantitative and qualitative analyses, approaches from workforce research (such as cognitive laboratory interviews and critical incident exercises), and evidence-based technical assistance.
Sound theoretical principles and scientifically based evidence are our touchstones, whether we are investigating teacher knowledge about beginning reading instruction, studying the effectiveness of computer-based reading interventions, or providing guidance about adolescent struggling readers.
