RECORDING & PODCAST

Here’s what attendees had to say about the Spring ‘25 Structured Literacy for Every Learner Summit:

“Really impressive! All the resources/websites that were shared are really helpful. Everyone on the panel was extremely knowledgeable, research based and passionate!”

“This webinar on structured literacy for multilinguals is a must-watch! One of the best webinars I’ve seen on this topic, as it includes practical ways to embed holistic, asset-focused, biliterate instruction for multilinguals, even when teachers are not multilingual themselves. This webinar should be required watching for administrators, educators, reading coaches, speech-language therapists, and more!”

“The program moderator and panelists were excellent! The questions posed by the moderator were very thoughtfully crafted, and he shared great insight on the importance of proper teacher training in higher ed and the continuation of that training while in their careers. You could tell that everyone involved was very passionate about literacy and the need for improved education around literacy, not just for teachers, but for families and policymakers as well. Lots of great resources were shared by the panelists and in the chat by participants. I really enjoyed attending this webinar!”
