Science of Reading: Professional Learning Series for Rhode Island

apply CURRENT READING RESEARCH IN YOUR CLASSROOM

Our virtual Science of Reading Professional Learning Series teaches critical components of literacy instruction for Grades K-2 & 3-5, integrating current research into each module and translating it into classroom application. Upon the culmination of this training, educators will be eligible for the Literacy/Dyslexia Endorsement. This professional development series meets the requirements of the Rhode Island Right to Read Act requiring specific educators to exhibit proficiency in the knowledge and practices of the Science of Reading and Structured Literacy.

The series consists of seventeen 3-hour facilitated, synchronous modules held via Zoom and continued learning through asynchronous materials and follow up activities via Google Classroom. 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 role does automaticity play in becoming a proficient reader?
  • What cognitive processes are involved in deeply understanding text?
  • How do we know we are using the right assessments to determine student need?
  • . . . and much more!

This course has been eye opening. This information will impact my teaching as I now know that I can lay the ground work that leads students to the reading process. The application activities were essential to understanding the reading process. I will be using all of the activities moving forward.
