Purpose of the Science of Reading Conference 

The goal of this conference is to provide educators with research-based knowledge and practical strategies that align with the Science of Reading framework. Attendees will learn how to:

  • Build Strong Foundational Skills: Equip young learners with essential literacy skills, including phonemic awareness, phonics, and fluency, to develop confident and proficient readers.

  • Address Literacy Challenges: Identify and support students with diverse learning needs, including those with dyslexia or other reading difficulties, through targeted interventions and evidence-based practices.

  • Create Rigorous, Evidence-Based Curricula: Design and implement literacy instruction that integrates key components of reading—oral language, word recognition, vocabulary, and comprehension—ensuring every student has access to a challenging and engaging curriculum.

  • Differentiate Instruction Effectively: Learn how to scaffold learning to meet the needs of all students, tailoring instruction to support emerging readers, English language learners, and struggling readers.

  • Translate Research Into Practice: Bridge the gap between theory and classroom application with tools, resources, and strategies grounded in the Science of Reading.
