Reading research has identified instructional practices and target skills that are critical for reading success. At the same time, research is less clear on some aspects of reading instruction and several questions remain unanswered. In this edWebinar, Dr. Nathan Clemens discusses how reading science can be applied in practice, and how to navigate situations in which evidence is unclear.

Viewers leave with insights on bringing the latest evidence-based practices and skills to their classrooms and districts.

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers and school and district leaders of the kindergarten through elementary grades.
