Teaching students to read requires more than isolated literacy strategies. Today's educators need a cohesive, evidence-based framework that aligns with how the brain learns to read and supports the diverse needs of learners in today's classrooms.
This pathway provides a comprehensive introduction to structured literacy and the Science of Reading, helping educators translate research into classroom practice. Participants will explore practical strategies for phonics instruction, word recognition, vocabulary development, language comprehension, orthographic mapping, morphology, and multisensory learning techniques.

Are you looking for a roadmap for effective literacy instruction, one that ensures every student can confidently navigate the world of reading? Structured literacy instruction is an evidence-based approach that systematically teaches the structure of language, benefiting learners with various literacy needs. Join Chrissy Romano Arrabito for this timesaving, to the point session as we explore the foundational principles of structured literacy and its critical role in literacy development, including practical strategies to integrate into your daily teaching that will foster a supportive and differentiated learning environment. Get ready to embark on a journey to redefine your literacy instruction and help your students build the foundation for a lifetime of reading achievement! Chrissy's expertise in evidence-based reading practices will empower you with the tools necessary to incorporate structured literacy techniques into your classroom, boosting reading success for all your students. This is training five of seven for the series titled "Evidence-Based Reading Practices for Instruction."
Are you looking for effective strategies to support phonics development and improve literacy outcomes for your students? Sound walls provide a systematic and explicit approach to teaching phonics by organizing phonemes (speech sounds) graphically and categorically, helping students develop phonemic awareness, phonics skills, and spelling proficiency. Join Chrissy Romano-Arrabito for this timesaving, to the point session as we dive into the world of sound walls and how they can supercharge literacy skills in your classroom and offer a fresh approach to teaching phonics. Get ready to shake up your teaching style and empower your students to make connections between sounds, letters, and words in their reading and writing! Chrissy's expertise in evidence-based reading practices will equip you with the tools you need to implement sound walls as a dynamic instructional tool to support differentiated instruction, multisensory learning, and ongoing assessment.
Have you ever wondered how to engage all learners in phonics instruction, regardless of their learning styles or abilities? Multisensory phonics instruction engages multiple senses, such as sight, hearing, touch, and movement, to enhance learning, retention, and transfer of phonics concepts. Join Melisssa Mann for this hands-on, interactive workshop as we explore multisensory strategies to add to your toolbox that can be used in whole group, small group, and one-on-one settings. As educators, we understand that when students encounter difficulties with phonics, their vocabulary is hindered, so we will strive to address this gap. Get ready to transform your phonics instruction and empower your students with multisensory learning experiences! Melissa's expertise in differentiated instruction will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to integrate multisensory techniques into your instruction and help students develop the foundational skills needed for reading and spelling.
Are you looking to deepen your understanding of orthographic mapping and its pivotal role in literacy development within a structured classroom setting? Orthographic mapping is a critical theory in reading education, underlying how students store written words in their long-term memory. Join Chrissy Romano-Arrabito for this timesaving, to the point session where we will explore the essential components of orthographic mapping and its crucial role in reading acquisition. You will gain insights into delivering explicit instruction in phonics and phonological awareness to strengthen orthographic mapping and discover how multisensory techniques and structured literacy activities can enhance word learning and retention. Get ready to harness the power of orthographic mapping in your literacy instruction! Chrissy's expertise in evidence-based teaching practices will empower you with the tools to assess and monitor students' orthographic mapping skills for targeted instruction, and to differentiate your approach to meet the diverse needs of learners in a structured literacy classroom.
The English language is rich with words. The Oxford Dictionary has over 500,000 entries and is ever growing. How then, can we expect to teach students all the words they will encounter throughout the school career? Join Alexander Laue for this timesaving, to the point session as we explore morphology and how we can teach students to break apart words into meaningful pieces. These practices give students strategies to solve words for their meaning, using all their knowledge of affixes, Latin bases and Greek combining forms. Get ready to revolutionize your teaching approach and enhance students' language skills through the power of morphology! Alexander's expertise as a literacy instructional coach will provide you with the tools and resources you need to integrate morphology instruction into the curriculum to enhance students' vocabulary acquisition, reading comprehension, spelling, and overall literacy skills.
Are you seeking effective techniques to make vocabulary instruction more engaging, interactive, and memorable for your students? Multisensory vocabulary instruction engages multiple senses, such as sight, sound, touch, and movement, to enhance learning, retention, and application of new words in context. Join Melisssa Mann for this hands-on, interactive workshop as we explore multisensory strategies to add to your toolbox that can be used in whole group, small group, and one-on-one settings. As educators, we recognize that when students face challenges with vocabulary, their comprehension suffers, so we will focus on bridging this gap. Get ready to revolutionize your vocabulary instruction and empower your students with multisensory learning experiences! Melissa's expertise in differentiated instruction will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to integrate multisensory techniques into your instruction and enable students to expand their expressive and receptive language skills and enrich their communication abilities.
Are you looking for effective techniques to help students comprehend complex texts, analyze information critically, and make meaningful connections? Multisensory comprehension instruction engages multiple senses, such as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile modalities, to deepen understanding, enhance retention, and promote transfer of learning. Join Melisssa Mann for this hands-on, interactive workshop as we explore multisensory strategies to add to your toolbox that can be used in whole group, small group, and one-on-one settings. As educators, we understand that comprehension extends beyond the the four walls of the classroom, so we will work on closing this gap. Get ready to elevate your comprehension instruction and empower your students with multisensory learning experiences! Melissa's expertise in differentiated instruction will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to integrate multisensory techniques into your instruction and help develop students' ability to understand, interpret, and evaluate texts across content areas, fostering critical thinking and lifelong learning skills.
