Our Next Unsung Hero: Vocabulary – New! Webinar on 12/9

November 18, 2024 - Knowledge Matters Campaign

We’re thrilled to continue our “Unsung Heroes” webinar series, spotlighting the essential skills and processes that fuel reading comprehension. As we’ve explored before, reading comprehension isn’t a skill we can teach—it’s an outcome we must enable. And, as with  any great team sport, every “player” deserves recognition for their role in achieving success.

Next in our line-up is vocabulary, arguably the most powerful component of reading comprehension. In this episode, we’ll dive into the research and discuss how building students’ vocabularies helps enable them to engage deeply with texts.

On December 9 at 4:30 p.m. ET, our expert panel of Elfrieda (Freddy) H. Hiebert (TextProject), Sonia Cabell (Florida State University College of Education), and Sean Morrisey (5th Grade Teacher) will join host Kristen McQuillan for this important conversation.

ICYMI: The first episode (Writing) and second episode (Student Discourse) of Unsung Heroes recordings are available!
