Our 4th-6th grade campus has been undergoing a literacy instruction over haul for the last few school years. This session will detail how and why we are working to align our practices to the Science of Reading, make gains in our student's literacy skills by meeting them where they are, and changing the mindsets of the adults working to change the course of our students lives by creating strong, confident readers. We will describe what's working and how we are continuing to make adjustments based on the needs of our students and the resources available to us. Attendees with leave with a roadmap for how to start a reading instruction revamp on their own campus and justify its importance to their own staff with the SOR teaching strategies necessary to make it happen.
