Science & Research

Foundations

Built on Proven Science

The IntraAct method draws on the strongest evidence in reading science to deliver effective instruction.

National Reading Panel

Aligned with the National Reading Panel's five pillars of effective reading instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

Cognitive Psychology

Based on research in cognitive psychology exploring how the brain processes written language and builds reading pathways.

Attention & Automaticity

Built on research in attention and automaticity, ensuring students develop fast, effortless decoding that frees cognitive resources for comprehension.

Key Principle

“Automatic decoding is the foundation of reading comprehension.”

When students can decode words effortlessly and automatically, their cognitive resources are freed to focus on understanding meaning, building vocabulary, and engaging deeply with text.

Neuroscience

Strengthening the Brain's Reading Pathways

The IntraAct method is designed to work with the brain's natural learning processes, building strong neural pathways for reading through structured, repeated practice.

Strengthens brain pathways for reading through targeted instruction
Builds durable literacy skills through repetition and structure
Develops automatic word recognition at the neurological level
