Too often we find that educators are given the tools to use instructional resources and programs, but not the insights into why they were created and why they work. This recorded edWebinar pulls back the curtain on the research base of Amplify’s personalized learning program for early literacy, Amplify Reading, which was informed through deep partnership with leaders in early literacy, psychology, and neuroscience like Dr. Bruce McCandliss and Dr. Jane Oakhill.
Viewers will leave the session with:
- An entirely new understanding of the missing link in reading comprehension: What strong readers do while they’re reading and how to teach students these strategies
- New instructional strategies for foundational skills and vocabulary
- Ideas for modeling and helping students apply these skills to texts
- Resources to support these strategies
This recorded edWebinar will be of interest to teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders of the kindergarten through elementary levels.
