Registration is required to attend the live edWebinar.

Teachers know that the Science of Reading applies to all students—those who read well, those with dyslexia or other learning differences, those from linguistically and culturally diverse backgrounds, and more. All students benefit from systematic and explicit reading instruction that includes phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension.

With their unparalleled knowledge of and access to their learners, teachers must be an integral part of the transition to structured literacy. In this edWebinar, we bring together educators and curricular experts to break down how teachers can advocate for Science-of-Reading-based instruction and professional learning in their schools and districts. Discussion topics include:

  • Becoming the expert and advocating for structured literacy instruction
  • Identifying areas of improvement in current literacy programs or curricula and leveling feedback up to decision makers
  • Identifying professional development and training to implement structured literacy
  • Inspiration to achieve a shared vision of Science-of-Reading-based instruction in your classroom and beyond

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.
