Overview
Embark on a transformative journey with our “Harnessing the Science of Reading” workshop designed exclusively for coaches, school leaders, and district decision-makers. This hands-on session is your gateway to unleashing the power of The Active View of Reading, backed by the latest scientific research. Developed by researchers Nell K. Duke and Kelly B. Cartwright, this model transcends the traditional “simple view” of reading. It illuminates the intricate dance readers perform as they engage with text. In this workshop, we not only delve into the fascinating world of reading science, but also explore practical strategies to enhance literacy instruction, translating research into classroom practice. Whether you are a coach, school leader, or district administrator, this workshop equips you with actionable insights to elevate reading instruction in classrooms.
