In this session, Susan will break down what these experts shared about the often-overlooked fluency-comprehension connection, the critical role of knowledge building in literacy instruction, and how syntactic awareness unlocks complex text understanding. You'll discover classroom-ready strategies for applying this research with your students and colleagues, and tools to identify when dysfluency is the source behind comprehension struggles. This session includes time for your questions and Susan's expert advice on implementation. --- ### Session 2: Beyond the Building Blocks: Exploring Advanced Comprehension Frameworks and Assessment July 14, 2026 | 2 p.m. EST In this follow-up session, Susan Lambert dives deeper into the sophisticated research shared by **Anne Lucas**, **Melissa Farrall**, and **Ana Torres** in the Science of Comprehension Symposium. Discover how skilled readers build mental models while reading, learn assessment approaches that go beyond surface-level questioning, and hear classroom-tested strategies from educators who've successfully implemented comprehension research. Susan will provide a framework for making invisible comprehension processes visible to students, share both teacher-led and digital approaches for supporting struggling readers, and offer concrete methods for using assessment data to drive targeted instruction. ### Session 1: Building Fluency for Students with Learning Differences Recorded on June 16, 2026 | 4 p.m. EST Students with learning differences can bring unique perspectives and skill sets to the classroom, which can help create a more well-rounded educational experience for all. But they can also encounter more obstacles in class when it comes to digging in and doing the math. Join this session to learn practices to help welcome all students into learning and help them progress toward greater math success—in the classroom and beyond. --- ### Session 2: Going Deeper into Fluency for K–5 Math July 14, 2026 | 4 p.m. EST Join part two of our popular webinar, Fostering Fluency in K–5 Math. Dr. Serpa will be back to build on her original session, exploring more practices that help engage students in math while cultivating essential problem-solving skills. Participants will walk away with strategies and activities to use this upcoming school year, as well as routines that reinforce conceptual understanding and set the foundation for lifelong math proficiency.
