Dr. Laura Stewart: Science of Reading: What it is and Why it Matters | Online, Zoom

We’ve all heard the buzz. . . now it’s time to dig into the Science of Reading and explore the what, why, and how. In addition to defining the key terms (the what), this session will address these big ideas that are central to understanding the Science of Reading: Research and frameworks that inform instruction, including the neuroscientific findings (the why) and what effective Structured Literacy instruction looks like in action (the how). These basic principles will help us deliver on the promise of literacy for ALL of our students in Illinois. This overview is great for all educators, educational leaders, parents, and any others on a Science of Reading journey.
