How Administrators Can Utilize the Science of Reading to Achieve Equity in Literacy (2022)
This edWebinar explores how schools and districts can utilize reading science and cognitive science to help their K-2 students make rapid and lasting literacy gains by focusing on decoding, encoding, and other critical phonemic awareness and phonics skills. This session challenges the status quo by overturning many false assumptions about how kids learn to read.
Can the Science of Reading help schools and districts foster instructional equity and high achievement for all students? Too many students, especially in K-2, will not achieve grade-level goals this school year unless they make rapid gains over the spring and summer months.
This edWebinar explores how schools and districts can utilize reading science and cognitive science to help their K-2 students make rapid and lasting literacy gains by focusing on decoding, encoding, and other critical phonemic awareness and phonics skills. This session challenges the status quo by overturning many false assumptions about how kids learn to read.
We accomplish this end by putting educators in their students’ shoes and making them feel what it’s like to learn to read for the first time (let’s be honest, we all forgot how we learned to read!). This unique educational experience paves the way for a new, science-backed approach to literacy, replete with practical classroom applications focusing on equity. Viewers gain free access to practical tools to help their students make rapid and far-reaching gains this school year.
This recorded edWebinar is of interest to school leaders, district leaders, and curriculum directors of the K-2 grades.
