The Science of Reading (SOR) is everywhere, and teachers are being told that they don’t know what it is. What is the SOR? You know more than you think. In this edWebinar, you learn what the SOR is and what it is not. You learn about a few key literacy concepts relevant to students across preschool to the secondary level so that you may begin reflecting on your current instructional practices. You also learn where to locate useful resources to support your instruction.

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK-12 teachers and school and district leaders.
