Deepen Your Understanding of HQIR Through Research
Implementing a high-quality instructional resource (HQIR) is an important step toward providing students with effective, evidence-based literacy instruction. Knowing what to do in a lesson is only part of the work. Understanding why the instructional practices are included can help teachers implement their HQIR with greater purpose and precision.
The Kentucky Reading Research Center (KYRRC), in partnership with the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE), offers educators a trusted source for building that knowledge.
The KYRRC Research Clearinghouse brings together research findings and translates them into accessible resources that help educators connect research to classroom practice. The center’s resources include systematic reviews of research and concise Evidence Snapshots developed specifically for educators.
These resources can complement KDE’s early literacy resources and the HQIRs teachers are already using. This deeper knowledge can help teachers ask:
- Why is this practice included in the lesson?
- What does the research tell us about this practice?
- What should I look and listen for as students engage in the lesson?
- How does this practice contribute to students becoming proficient readers?
Explore the Kentucky Reading Research Center’s resources for teachers and instructional educators and find a resource that can deepen your understanding of the work happening in your classroom.
