Eye
on the
Science
of
Reading
Achieving
Work–Life
Balance
In the time of
COVID-19, teaching
and learning are
unlike anything
we’ve seen before.
Struggling to balance
the new demands
of both life and
work is normal. Tina
Nazerian approaches
this global issue in
her Literacy Now
blog post, “How
to Achieve Work–
Life Balance While
Teaching Remotely
During COVID-19.”
For tips on how
to prioritize your
responsibilities,
strengthen
connections with
others, take time
to regroup, and
maintain focus
and energy, check
out the post at

balance.
In case you missed it, the September/October issue of Literacy Today, as well as
a special digital issue of ILA’s Reading Research Quarterly (RRQ), focused on the
science of reading—including the supports for, critiques of, and questions about
this critical topic. There were also two digital events to round out the monthlong
special focus:
Unpacking the Science of Reading: A Conversation With the Editors of Reading
Research Quarterly—a free event with Amanda P. Goodwin and Robert T.
Jiménez
Making Sense of the Science of Reading—our first digital ILA Intensive, featuring
P. David Pearson, Timothy Shanahan, Timothy Rasinski, and more.
