REGISTER NOW – EARLY BIRD PRICING ENDS ON 4/30/2025!

The Science of Reading Professional Learning Series teaches critical components of literacy instruction for Early Childhood Educators. Each module integrates current research and translates it into classroom application. The series consists of ten 2.5-hour facilitated, synchronous modules and continued learning through asynchronous materials and follow up activities. These modules address questions such as:

• – What happens in the brain when we read? How can this understanding inform our instruction?
• – How is reading related to oral language?
  – What are high-leverage instructional routines that support reading acquisition?
  – What is the role of direct explicit instruction in play-based pedagogy?
  – How literacy can be used to support social emotional and executive function skills?
  – How do we know we are using the right assessments to determine student need?
  … and much more!

COMPLETION REQUIREMENT: Satisfactory completion is defined as attendance at no less than 20 out of 25 hours of scheduled, synchronous course time, and completion of all course assignments by September 30, 2025.  We strongly recommend reviewing the live session dates below before registering.
