We understand that reading comprehension is not a skill that’s easily taught or transferred from one text to another. Reading is an active process in which proficient readers integrate the ideas contained in texts with their existing knowledge to make meaning of what’s in print.
We are excited to announce the next installment of our Unsung Heroes Webinar Series, “Knowledge: Why It Matters.” In this session, we’ll dive deeply into how knowledge, as the unsung hero that drives all others, is the quarterback of literacy. Building and applying knowledge is more than a literacy strategy; it is a necessary condition for reading comprehension.
Join us on February 6, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EST, for a robust discussion, featuring Dr. Susan Neuman of New York University, Dr. Margaret (“Moddy”) McKeown of the University of Pittsburgh, Standards Work Chief Program Officer Kristen McQuillan, and 7th grade teacher and curriculum expert Kyair Butts of Baltimore City Public Schools.
NOTE: Due to popular demand, we are now offering certificates of attendance for those who join the webinar live! Indicate your interest when registering.
