1. Science or Snake Oil: How to Tell the Difference (64 m)

The science of reading has become a powerful movement, and program developers and publishers have taken note.  In an effort to hold onto their share of the market, many have claimed to have incorporated science into their programs. Unfortunately, a new label on a package doesn’t necessarily indicate there’s a better product inside. As contradictory claims are made, how can educators know who and what to believe?

In this webinar, Dr. Holly Lane, director of the University of Florida Literacy Institute, helps you distinguish fact from fiction.
