This workshop is designed for educators who are new to the Science of Reading – the research that explains how children learn to read. Participants will explore the essential components of reading – including phonology, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension – and learn how these elements work together to support literacy development. This workshop emphasizes how a structured literacy approach guides classroom instruction to support developing readers. Participants will see how the core practices of structured literacy – explicit instruction, systemic skill progression, and diagnostic teaching – can be applied to everyday classroom instruction.
Through interactive activities, case studies, and guided discussions, educators will gain practical tools to analyze student work, interpret assessment data, and plan targeted instruction. By the end of this workshop, participants will have a solid understanding of the Science of Reading and a framework for implementing structured literacy practices that help students become confident, skilled readers.
Participants will be able to:
- Describe the foundational principles of the Science of Reading.
- Identify and explain the key components of reading and their place within a structured literacy framework.
- Recognize common reading challenges and their underlying causes.
- Apply evidence-based strategies to support reading and literacy development.
- Explore how the essential principles of structured literacy inform lesson planning.
