Hey Reader, You know I’m passionate about helping educators learn how to incorporate the science of reading into their daily lessons. As a former balanced literacy teacher, learning about how our students really learn to read was shocking and upsetting. I had lots of changes to make. I was overwhelmed and upset. That’s why I’m so excited to share something that will help reading educators like you learn and implement important aspects of the science of reading into your lessons: ​The Back to School SOR Summit is a free 3-day event that will help elementary reading teachers incorporate the science of reading for the new school year and become more confident and competent in teaching reading effectively. You can get all the details about Back to School SOR Summit over here, but as a quick overview:

Hi Reader, Teaching phonics rules can feel like a constant challenge—some students get it, while others need constant reminders.
