When K–3 Reading Takes Off:
Moving Students Towards Reading to Learn
What helps students take off in reading, and how can a shift in instruction support their journey?
Every teacher has witnessed the moment when students move from "sounding out" words to reading with confidence and ease. This edWebinar explores research-based practices that help educators guide students toward reading proficiency.
In this webinar, Great Minds® experts Lori Sappington, Danielle Gaither, and Jeniqua Moran discuss how to help students build the knowledge and skills that they need to thrive—not just as readers but as lifelong learners.
Topics include:
- what research says about students’ reading needs at different stages of development,
- how to help students overcome common reading hurdles—accuracy, fluency, and comprehension, and
- the essential role of content knowledge in helping students not just learn to read but read to learn with deeper understanding.
