Teaching reading is rocket science! What are the inner workings of the mind, and how do they enable reading comprehension? Participants will learn about the processes that comprise executive function, how they are measured, and how they relate to reading comprehension and instruction.
IEP Goal Writing Aligned to the Science of Reading
As educational practices become more centered around the Science of Reading, it can be difficult to know how to shift IEP goals to reflect the evidence-based practices used in instruction. Learning how to write IEP goals that are clearly aligned with the Science of Reading benefits everyone: students, families, and educators.
