Learn More About the Science of Reading
Advancing Evidence-Based Instructional Practices to Improve Reading Achievement
In general, educators are in agreement as to what skilled word reading is, and what it looks like. The disagreement lies in HOW to help their students become proficient readers. This well-publicized reading debate centers around the best way to teach students to read.
In this video presentation, Dr. Susan Hall examines the current views about word reading, takes a closer look at how skilled readers read, and explores evidence-based science of reading practices that are connected to brain research. What is the science behind reading? And, how can we fix the 'profound disconnection between the science of reading and educational practice'*?
Watch to learn more about the Science of Reading and how this knowledge can positively impact your instructional practices in the new school year. Download the session handouts and share this presentation with your colleagues to continue this important discussion and learning experience.

Improve your MTSS Processes
10 Success Factors for Literacy Intervention:
Getting Results with MTSS in Elementary Schools
In some schools MTSS/RTI is losing steam because other initiatives are consuming educators’ attention. Diverting focus away from MTSS is a mistake. A systemic approach to differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all students should be nonnegotiable. It’s not a fad, and it shouldn’t be pushed aside for something else that draws the staff’s attention.
One reason it may be easy to push aside MTSS is that although results have been outstanding in some schools, they have been negligible in too many others. The reason results have not been consistently strong is that in implementing MTSS, too many schools have left out critical components.
What are schools that are getting good results doing? When results are unimpressive, what’s missing?
Author and reading intervention expert Dr. Susan Hall answers these persistent questions in her publication, 10 Success Factors for Literacy Intervention: Getting Results with MTSS in Elementary Schools. Dr. Hall's experience in working with schools across the United States led to the development of a list of 10 success factors observable in schools that are getting significant gains in student literacy with MTSS.
Discover the 10 Success Factors
Join Dr. Hall as she thoroughly explores each of these ten initiatives and provides the guidance educators need to move from disappointing results to student reading success in this practical publication. Download this complimentary 8-page booklet to preview the 10 Success Factors and watch our on-demand 10 Success Factors webinar series.
