Learning to read seems to come naturally to some children. For others, it is a struggle and a guessing game. Research has shown that reading is not a natural process, but it is not a guessing game. Teaching systematic phonics is the best way to ensure that all kids learn how to read. This two-day workshop will focus on the five components of effective reading instruction and how it aligns with current research on the science of reading. We will explore how to teach basic language skills with a multi-sensory approach.

Target Audience: K-5
