The Writing Chapter: Sparking the Writing Revolution with the Latest Insights and Research

Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2024, 12 p.m. EDT

Writing is a potentially powerful lever for deepening knowledge, improving reading comprehension and analytical thinking, and enabling all students to access grade-level material. But it’s also the most difficult thing we ask students to do. In this webinar, co-authors of The Writing Revolution, Natalie Wexler and Judith C. Hochman, Ph.D., will share how to make writing less overwhelming for students, and why you should embed it into your core curriculum across all subjects and grades.

The Knowledge Chapter: Why the Science of Reading Is More Than Just Phonics

Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2024, 12 p.m. EDT

We know that to be a skilled reader, you have to be able to decode, understand what the individual words you’re reading mean, integrate meaning within the sentences and be able to make sense of the entire statement or passage you’ve read. In short, learning to read is much more than just phonics. Join literacy leader Nancy Hennessy to explore how phonics, background knowledge, vocabulary, and sentence comprehension are all necessary for reading comprehension and work together to help students develop solid literacy skills for life.
