Important
Session
Information:
This interactive presentation will be solidly grounded in well-established reading theory, will include
many Science of Reading-powered activities, and will both review and build upon earlier professional
development sessions (July and September, 2022). After a brief overview of how foundational reading
arises in the brain, why reading difficulties can develop, and how science has always been a part of
reading theory and instructional practices, the presenter will discuss and model classroom activities and
strategies, with a special emphasis on orthography and building automatic word recognition.
