Improve Reading Comprehension: Three Tools for Working Memory Challenges (EdWebinar)
Many struggling readers are held back by their difficulties with working memory. When students cannot retain information long enough to make sense of what they’re reading, comprehension suffers, frustration grows, and teachers may misidentify the root cause.
In this high-impact webinar, K–12 educators will learn why working memory is critical for reading comprehension and discover practical strategies (AKA: Working Memory Workarounds) to make reading more accessible for all learners.

This session combines the latest cognitive science with actionable classroom strategies, providing concrete examples, flexible scaffolds, and ready-to-use practices that you can implement immediately.
Participants will be able to:
