Session Descriptions
Dive into the 6 Components of Reading, David Bowman
Teachers develop a strong understanding of the 6 components and learn strategies and instructional activities to help students gain these essential skills. Teachers learn the 6 components through engaging in proven strategies and activities for teaching reading, thus learning both what to teach and how to teach the reading skills. Teachers can make informed decisions, use engaging and effective learning activities, and help students become great readers.
The Direction of Dyslexia, Shantell Berrett Blake
This session focuses on helping teachers understand what dyslexia is, what is known from research, and how it affects students. Teachers will experience evidence-based reading strategies for students with dyslexia. And finally, teachers will learn how to address the whole individual, including their social and emotional needs.
The Science of Reading and Structured Literacy in an MTSS Framework
Teachers in both general education and intervention settings will learn strategies for mitigating students’ learning loss due to COVID-19 disruptions, particularly in literacy. Teachers will leave with a greater understanding of Structured Literacy, MTSS, and best practices to significantly improve reading proficiency across grade levels.
