Boosting Beginning Reading: Strategic Reading Reinforcement

Join us for this interesting conversation with our guest Literacy Expert Susan Ebbers who will share the research and strategies surrounding learning to read.

Ebbers will illustrate how research supports the entwining of phonology, orthography, morphology, and vocabulary when teaching children to read, and to read more capably and with greater comprehension; and how this type of multidimensional approach is even more effective when integrated within the context of phrases, sentences, passages, and stories. Ebbers will also discuss the role self-efficacy plays in nurturing a motivation to read despite difficulties.

She will share ways to help students build skills systematically while also building confidence as well as strategies to:

• Reinforce basic decoding and “sight word” recognition 
• Reinforce phonics, including polysyllabic decoding, in context 
• Develop vocabulary and basic morphological awareness  
• Engage interest and boost self-efficacy within the context of reading

We hope you will join us for this important conversation.
