Embracing the Science of Reading to Improve Student Outcomes: How to Redesign Small Group Instruction and Mitigate the Summer Slide

Thursday, Nov 21, 2024
Far too many students are not able to read at an early age, and 75 percent of students who do not read proficiently by 3rd grade never reach reading proficiency in future grades. Disrupted learning from COVID-19 only further exacerbated reading challenges, with almost all subgroups of students experiencing a drop in the NAEP Reading Scores.

About the Webinar

Far too many students are not able to read at an early age, and 75 percent of students who do not read proficiently by 3rd grade never reach reading proficiency in future grades. Disrupted learning from COVID-19 only further exacerbated reading challenges, with almost all subgroups of students experiencing a drop in the NAEP Reading Scores.  With the ramifications of pandemic-related missed learning now becoming fully realized, learning to read has never been more important.

In this second part of a two-part series on the science of reading, participants will learn:

  • How neuroscience can inform the choices they make in their classrooms
  • How to redesign small group instruction to target student skill deficit
  • How to mitigate the summer slide with engaging summer programming
