Walsh University has been at the forefront of integrating the Science of Reading into its teacher preparation curriculum, becoming one of the first in Ohio to do so and now a leader in the state. The Science of Reading, based on the latest brain research and literacy development, is considered an effective method for reading instruction, focusing on phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary.

Walsh University’s undergraduate and graduate education programs are leading in this critical area for preparing the next generation of teachers. "As you can see in a new video showcasing some of the results," our education students are applying this knowledge in area schools like Watson Elementary in the Perry Local School District, demonstrating significant real-world impact.
