Have you ever wondered, “What is the science of teaching reading really all about?” This one-day conference is designed to answer that question and more as we unpack the “how to” and “what” of teaching reading. This conference includes:

- afternoon keynote by Sharon Walpole, Ph.D., professor in the School of Education at the University of Delaware
- breakout sessions arranged in the following strands: assessment & intervention, K-2 reading instruction, 3-5 reading instruction, and leadership
- topics such as best practices for intervention, phonics & morphological instruction, comprehension, the use of text sets, district SOR shifts, and more
- lunchtime learning from the Virginia Literacy Partnerships (formerly the PALS office)
Join us as we dive into best practices from science-based reading research!
