Here’s what attendees had to say about previous Sadlier edWebinars:

“The best webinar on early K I have attended in years!!!! Brilliant!”

“This webinar is one of the most informative, engaging, and well-organized webinars I’ve attended thus far.”

“It was so informative and rich—I have a lot to bring back to my early education teachers!”

“I could readily have sat for another hour. The pitch for this presentation was perfect. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned teacher who recalls those 70s decodables, this presentation has something for everyone.”

“It was a good mix of research and evidence-based instructional practices that teachers can implement tomorrow. It challenged thinking beyond just the phonics skills to fluency, vocabulary building, and comprehension.”
