This session is designed for district and school-level leaders who are embarking on a journey of literacy achievement acceleration.   In response to decades of steady reading decline, legislation across the nation is being enacted, shifting literacy practices to reflect the vast research that supports the Science of Reading/ Structured Literacy approach.  We school administrators play a vital role in this major shift in teacher preparation, instructional practice, and effective implementation.

This course will prepare school leaders with the knowledge and tools to ignite literacy acceleration by exploring six critical steps for building teacher capacity and for creating a culture of continuous reading improvement using Structured Literacy as a foundation for success.

This course is designed for school leaders and educators who are establishing a Structured Literacy approach with a focus on effective integration of writing.​ The Science of Reading research shows that teaching writing is most impactful when paired with rich reading and oral language experiences. The language used in complex texts differs from the language most students will encounter through everyday speech. This poses a number of challenges for many of our learners when faced with having to read, comprehend, and write about challenging text.​ Participants will explore the reading/writing connection and theoretical models that underpin the Science of Reading/Writing instruction. They will explore 3 evidence-based strategies to support students as they read grade-level text and simultaneously develop daily writing skills in the Structured Literacy classroom.
