Moderated by Cassandra Wheeler, Director of LETRS State Success, Lexia

Registration is required to attend the live edWebinar.

Join us to celebrate the start of Science of Reading Week with LeVar Burton! Burton, a beloved actor, director, author, and educator, has taught multiple generations of children about the joys of reading through his work on Reading Rainbow, the most-watched PBS program in the classroom during its 26-year run. He is a passionate advocate for equitable, evidence-based literacy instruction and was the executive producer of the 2023 documentary The Right to Read, which shares the stories of an activist, a teacher, and two American families who fight to provide our youngest generation with reading instruction based on the Science of Reading.

In a live Q&A, Burton will join Dr. Liz Brooke, Lexia Chief Learning Officer, for a discussion on the national literacy crisis, progress in evidence-based literacy instruction, and equitable access to that instruction for all students.

This edWebinar will be of interest to PreK-12 teachers, librarians, school and district leaders, and education technology leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
