Join The Reading League Indiana and Susan Lambert, host of Science of Reading; The Podcast, to learn why background knowledge is such a critical - and often overlooked - component of science-based and equitable literacy instruction as an introduction to our summer study on Natalie Wexler's The Knowledge Gap.

International Dyslexia Association-Indiana (IDA-IN) and Promoting Achievement through Technology and Instruction for all Students (PATINS) will also join to provide details about how you can participate in virtual small-group discussions and slow Twitter chats to receive professional growth tips and engage in conversation with educators and parents across the state.

 


Session 2: A Night with Natalie Wexler

Date of recording: Wednesday, July 21, 2021

To conclude your summer book study, you’re invited to an exclusive evening with author Natalie Wexler! Natalie will share insights from her book, The Knowledge Gap, on the power of a content-rich curriculum and answer your questions about teaching, learning, and anything in between.
