WebinarS

This three-part webinar series is presented by Michele Elia, the State Support Lead for Ohio. This webinar was featured in Youngstown City Schools as a training for staff and administrators. In this series, Elia provides an introduction to the Science of Reading, language comprehension and word recognition information, as well as how to plan for district changes in schools in regard to the science of reading.

This series is presented by Michelle Elia, the State Support Lead for Ohio. In these webinars, Elia introduces coaching for systemic and classroom changes in literacy practices.

These webinars are facilitated by Michelle Elia and Carolyn Turner, the Literacy Leads for the State of Ohio. This series was developed to function as a professional learning community, devoted to teaching reading using evidence-based practices. As topics are requested, they will be added to the list below. All topics will be aligned with Ohio's Plan to Raise Literacy Achievement and evidence based language and literacy practices. We will explore instructional practices in all three tiers of instruction. Theoretical models of language and literacy will be foundational to all learning experiences. These include, the Simple View of Reading, Scarborough's Reading Rope, the Four-Part Processing System, and Ehri's Phases.

The Reading League has created a campaign to bring the Science of Reading to light. Their vision is to align the science of reading by investing in knowledge-building for all educators, anchoring reading instruction in the scientific evidence base, and abandoning practices that lack evidence of effectiveness for all learners. This website provides a video series on the Science of Reading.

There is no greater mission for educators than ensuring all students are successful, joyful readers. In recent months and years, the science of reading is finally getting the attention it deserves. Schools across the U.S. are having serious conversations about how to align early reading instruction to the large body of evidence about reading—the most studied aspect of human learning. To examine the “why,” “what,” and “how” of this important topic, watch the three parts of The Science of Reading webinar series featuring Laura Stewart.

Learn from today’s pre-eminent professionals and deepen your knowledge about topics related to the science of reading with our Science of Reading Webinar Series. You will learn why the science behind learning to read is important for student success and how you can implement it in your school or district. This informative webinar series explores what the science of reading is, how it is taught, and why it is critical to teaching students to read.

This webinar highlights a variety of issues, including how professional development networks, teacher preparation programs, and popular curriculum materials are advancing approaches to reading instruction that fail to align with cognitive research. Joining her is principal Anders Rasmussen, who shares how he came to absorb the research on the science of reading, and what he has done to shift his elementary school’s teaching practices.

This webinar is presented by Tom and Elizabeth Fox Endowment for Reading. Throughout this webinar the speakers discuss how educators can teach all students how to read, spell and write through science.

95 Percent Group is pleased to offer complimentary webinars for educators, as part of a package of At-Home Resources during these unprecedented times. Each webinar is a half-hour session presented by a consultant.

Although we may not always know what came first, (the chicken or the egg?), we do know what came first in the world of literacy: speech. Both reading and writing are based on speech. We use a “speech-to-print” system, not a “print-to-speech” system when decoding and encoding words. Without an understanding of the way sounds are represented in print, many students continue to function well behind their peers. Evidence exists in support of phonemic awareness and its foundational role, but what does that really mean, and how does that translate to practical applications in the classroom? Join Dr. Carol Tolman as she outlines the role of phonological awareness, what misspellings tell us about students’ misunderstandings of phonemes, and what we can do about these errors to enhance their learning.

Scientific study of how children learn to read has been underway in the U.S. and around the world for several decades. Much has been discovered about the language and cognitive abilities related to success or difficulty in reading, about the neurological pathways that must be developed, and about implications for instruction. Yet, unfortunately, for the most part, mainstream education has not benefitted from these important developments. Join this fascinating and enlightening discussion that will target why and how this has happened. Dr. Susan Brady will identify steps to bring the gains from science to teachers and their students.

Executive function skills grow at a rapid rate during the early childhood years and provide an important foundation for language, literacy, cognitive, and social/emotional development. This session will describe strategies for helping young children develop these interconnected skills, making an important difference in their school and life success.
