In the four sessions of this masterclass series, we will explore how to use the science of learning to enhance the science of reading in your teaching practice. We will also explore three foundational reading skills and show you how to coach students to use them effectively.

We will look at how to integrate reading skill development in core subject areas to reinforce literacy development without you having to learn to be a reading teacher.  In addition, we will cover how to attend to the emotions struggling readers typically bring to improving their reading skills.
