Do you want to make learning to read easier for all of your students, including those with diverse needs, abilities and backgrounds?  Do you want your students to be empowered, thoughtful readers?  Reading instruction is evolving in response to research and evidence called “The Science of Reading”. In this course, teachers of any level and discipline will learn why the science of reading makes learning to read easier, and how to implement practices into the classroom.  Teachers will make brain science-based shifts and refine their current practices in student background knowledge, comprehension, phonemic awareness, phonics, word work, fluency, high frequency words, vocabulary, text selection and more.
