When used to its potential, the Science of Reading not only helps educators strengthen students’ literacy skills, but can increase engagement, motivation, and enjoyment—leading to students who both learn to read and choose to read. In this webinar, presented for National Reading Month, gain insights to support improved reading outcomes in your school.

The presenters discuss key literacy research, help participants understand what it truly means for a curriculum, intervention, or digital product to be evidence-based, and highlight why explicit, systematic instruction can actually increase student engagement when paired with authentic texts and student choice. Strategies will help you make the most of the school day and also engage families in reading enrichment outside of school.
