Struggling to make small-group reading instruction work for every student? In this session, participants will explore a skills-based approach grounded in Linnea Ehri’s five developmental reading phases. Rooted in the science of reading, this method offers a fresh alternative to traditional guided reading and balanced literacy practices.

It’s the middle of the year—and you have plenty of data. But are you using the right data to drive meaningful student growth? Join us for an interactive webinar that tackles a common challenge in schools: overassessing while underanalyzing the data that matters most. Through hands-on activities and thought-provoking discussion, you’ll learn how to identify essential data and turn insights into purposeful action for teaching and learning.

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. You’ll leave with three classroom-ready tools that reduce cognitive load, support deeper thinking, and foster independent comprehension habits.

Discover how high school teacher Victoria Francis partnered with dyslexia tutor Yvonna Graham to integrate research-based supports for students struggling to read and comprehend high school texts. Learn how even the most resistant students responded when given access to readily available, low-cost tools that enabled full participation in classroom work.

What if we could unlock the potential for every child to become a strong, confident reader? Decades of research show us how—yet many classrooms still rely on outdated practices that leave too many students behind. In this powerful session, George Georgiou and Greg Kushnir, authors of Better Together: Blending the Science of Reading and Professional Learning Communities at Work®, will unpack the science of reading—what it is, why it matters, and how it can transform instruction. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how students actually learn to read and practical steps schools can take to bring this research to life. Together, we can turn the promise of literacy for all into a reality.

Join award-winning author and educator Susan B. Katz for a dynamic webinar on supporting multilingual learners across the five core language competencies: speaking, writing, interacting, reading, and listening (SWIRL). With over 30 years of experience and as a National Board Certified Teacher, Katz shares practical, research-based strategies to help students develop English language skills while fostering confidence and engagement.

This session explores the Big 5 components of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Educators will gain practical, evidence-based strategies, examine how neuroscience informs instruction, and learn how to apply these practices within a response to intervention (RTI) framework to support all learners.

How can we harness the power of reading in our classrooms to inspire students to write and share meaningful stories from their own lives? Join Kourtney Hake and Paige Timmerman in this insightful webinar, where they will explore the essential role mentor texts play in shaping and motivating student writers.

This webinar will focus on a standards-based approach to reading instruction that allows for flexibility and variety in materials. Discussion will center around how educators can utilize existing materials as well as AI technology to build standards-aligned resources and assessments.

Educators will learn research-based strategies in small-group instruction based on Linnea Ehri's five developmental reading phases. In this one-hour webinar, educators will learn how to accommodate individual learning needs and design laser-targeted lessons to help promote equitable learning.
