Teachers completed a science-of-reading-aligned knowledge assessment, and their instruction was observed twice using a structured literacy observation rubric. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlations were used for analysis.</p> <p><strong>Results. </strong>Teachers showed moderate overall knowledge alignment, with strengths in phonics and orthographic knowledge but weaknesses in phonological and phonemic awareness. Classroom observations also indicated moderate structured literacy implementation, marked by relatively strong explicit instruction but weaker integration of reading components and limited instructional responsiveness. A significant positive relationship was found between teacher knowledge alignment and instructional quality, especially for explicitness and systematic sequencing.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion. </strong>Teacher knowledge alignment mediates the connection between evidence-based reading theory and classroom practice; therefore, stronger teacher preparation and sustained professional development are essential for improving</p> Ismail Ismail Rahmat Rahmat Abdul Haling Nikita Pramudia Copyright (c) 2026 Ismail Ismail, Rahmat Rahmat, Abdul Haling http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-03-30 2026-03-30 8 1 10.33487/majesty.v8i1.9265
