Three Miami University Faculty Awarded Grant to Enhance Science of Reading Curriculum

Miami University is excited to announce that three faculty members, Lena Lee, Michelle Cosmah, and Sarah Watt, have received a $6,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) to enhance the Science of Reading curriculum, with the college matching the grant for a total of $12,000. This project will address curricular gaps, revise course materials, and incorporate culturally relevant teaching perspectives. Additionally, Miami offers certified Orton Gillingham training for students, thanks to Sarah Watt's collaboration with the Institute for Multi-Sensory Education (IMSE). These efforts reflect Miami's commitment to producing strong educators equipped with evidence-based literacy instruction skills.
