Our Science of Reading eLearning Courses are an exceptional professional learning opportunity. Learn from the foremost experts. We've been teaching the Science of Reading for 17 years.

These efficient and exceptional workshops help teachers understand what researchers know about reading acquisition, word storage, reading difficulties, and the skills and knowledge it takes to become a fluent, highly capable, decoder. With this knowledge, teachers are empowered and prepared to nurture students along their journey to becoming strong decoders and fluent readers. Bring the Science of Reading to life in your classrooms.  

Efficient. Affordable. Entertaining. Empowering. Compared to many other professional learning courses, our courses are a fraction of the time, and a fraction of the cost, but they leave teachers with deep knowledge and practical functional solutions!  Select from two levels: Emerging Reader for PreK, K, and Developing Reader for Grades 1-12

Goals of these trainings:

• An understanding of the research behind how individuals learn to read
• Strategies to align scientific research with classroom practices
• Valuable insights to help you unlock the English Code for all students, including emerging, developing, and struggling readers 

Here's what you'll learn:

The Science Behind How Students Master Decoding

We'll explore the research behind how the brain decodes increasingly complex words and the processes involved in storing words for effortless retrieval. Topics include:

• Common explanations of the Science of Reading
• Orthographic mapping and how words are anchored for automatic, effortless retrieval
• How this body of research has an impact on teacher decision-making and student learning
• The impact of early instruction on long-term success

Practical Strategies to Implement the Science of Reading with Developing Readers

Practical application of the Science of Reading in the classroom. Topics include:

• What the scientifically aligned decoding instruction looks like for growing and struggling readers
• How to use clear, concise language to easily deliver concepts to students
• Ready to use instructional routines to provide consistency in your decoding instruction
• Strategies to ensure your older readers will have the skills and knowledge they need to orthographically map the increasingly complex word structures they encounter

Reaching Mastery and Automaticity through Effective Practice, Differentiation, and Diagnosing Decoding Needs

Key topics related to helping children reach mastery and automaticity through effective practice, differentiation, and diagnostic assessments. 

Topics covered include:

• Key practice routines and strategies to promote automaticity with single-syllable and multi-syllabic words.
• Providing meaningful feedback to build confidence and endurance in reading complex word structures
• Differentiating amounts and types of practice to meet the needs of struggling learners
• Using diagnostic decoding assessments to answer these key questions: Which students are struggling with decoding? What types of words cause them difficulty? What is the source of the underlying confusion?
