The Science of Reading – What Alberta’s Teachers & Administrators Need to Know

The Learning Disabilities Association of Alberta present Michele Pentyliuk and Pam Lougheed. This workshop offers an introduction to the “Science of Reading” and how emerging research can inform how we teach our children to read and write. Understanding how literacy skills develop in children, why some children struggle to develop these fundamental skills, and what research tells us about how to best teach them, will help teachers and other school professionals bridge the gap between the science of reading and educational practice.
