Jackson | Rethinking Adolescent Literacy Intervention
About this Event
A Conversation Grounded in Mississippi
Mississippi has made significant progress in literacy, yet unfinished literacy learning remains for many older students. This discussion will bring district leaders together to examine what older students need and how literacy systems can better support them.
Join Reading Horizons, Dr. Kymyona Burk, Senior Policy Fellow at ExcelinEd, and fellow district leaders and literacy professionals for an interactive conversation about what striving adolescent readers actually need.
During this Interactive Conversation, We’ll Discuss:
- What national research reveals about adolescent readers and unfinished literacy learning
- How to identify the underlying skills that may be holding readers back
- What these insights mean for district intervention strategy and support
Join the Conversation
Together, attendees will share perspectives and consider practical approaches for supporting older students with unfinished literacy learning.
