Are you a 3rd-5th grade teacher trying to navigate the murky waters of how the Science of Reading applies to you? Not sure where to start or what to do to implement research-based best practices into your literacy block? In this session focused on Upper Elementary teachers, we will zero in on six common literacy practices, the misunderstandings surrounding those practices, and the high-leverage routines and instructional strategies you can implement to shift current practice to research-aligned practice. This session will provide answers to questions such as "What is the Science of Reading?" "What does the Science of Reading look like in the upper elementary classroom?" and "What does the science say to do to help my struggling readers in 3-5?"
