Meals, materials, and full digital resource access (F2F); downloadable guides for virtual attendees
This summit is your opportunity to reset, refresh, and reignite your instructional practice—ensuring that students not only learn to read and comprehend but also develop strong number sense, problem-solving confidence, and mathematical reasoning.
We can’t wait to learn and grow with you at the Science of Reading + Math Summit 2026!
Reading & Math Rendezvous: A Fun-Filled Science of Reading + Math Summit
This dynamic professional learning series, grounded in the Science of Teaching Reading and high-impact math practices, explores the essential building blocks of early literacy and numeracy. Participants will engage in modules on oral language, phonological awareness, word structure and analysis, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and the mathematical foundations that support number sense, problem-solving, and reasoning.
Designed for teachers, administrators, instructional coaches, and preservice teachers, each session dives deeply into both the theory and practice behind early reading and math acquisition. Educators will leave with research-based strategies, ready-to-use instructional tools, and practical methods for implementing effective early literacy and numeracy instruction.
The purpose of the Science of Reading + Math Summit is to provide the core knowledge educators need to help young children read, write, and understand math with confidence. This 4-day learning experience equips participants with the skills to design rigorous, engaging, and developmentally appropriate instruction that includes research-based practices, differentiated supports, and scaffolding techniques.
With a dual focus on literacy and math, this institute empowers educators to ensure every child has the foundation to thrive academically—no matter their starting point.
Participants will be fully engaged in the sessions. These sessions are not a sit and get, rather a shake, rattle and roll sessions.
Module 1: Building Strong Foundations in Literacy & Numeracy
Explore the essential building blocks every young learner needs. This module covers oral language, phonological and phonemic awareness, alphabetic principle, number sense, counting principles, and early operations. Educators learn how these foundational skills connect and how to build them intentionally through explicit, systematic instruction.
Module 2: Word Recognition, Fluency & Mathematical Thinking
This module focuses on how students develop accurate, automatic word reading and fluent math processing. Participants will explore decoding, morphology, high-frequency word instruction, and fluency routines—paired with math fluency strategies, reasoning tasks, and techniques that strengthen students’ speed, accuracy, and flexibility.
Module 3: Vocabulary, Knowledge Building & Problem-Solving
Deep comprehension requires background knowledge—and so does math. Educators will learn vocabulary-building strategies, content knowledge activation techniques, and comprehension routines that build strong readers. In math, this module highlights problem-solving frameworks, math discourse strategies, and ways to help students apply concepts across real-world contexts.
Module 4: Integrating Literacy & Math for High-Impact Instruction
This module shows educators how to design lessons that blend literacy and numeracy through explicit instruction, small-group interventions, data-driven planning, and meaningful scaffolds. Participants learn how to support struggling learners, use progress monitoring tools, and implement routines that boost performance in both reading and math.
Science of Reading
Educational research on the science of reading has highlighted the increased importance of teaching phonics, particularly decoding. However, according to the National Reading Panel, effective reading instruction must also include direct and explicit teaching of all five pillars of literacy: phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
What to Expect....
Hands - On Sessions - You will be an active participant in all sessions so that you can take everything you learn right back to your classroom!
Resources - each session includes resources from the presenter that relate to the topic. You get the tools and the training!
Experienced Educator Presenters - While we know learning from the researchers is important, we also think it is important to learn from teachers! We know all the demands you face each day and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to teach following the research!
Full Day of Content and Fun! - Our action-packed sessions will keep you engaged and having fun all day! As if that is not enough, we will have fun-filled activities for you throughout the day as well!
