Sometimes Reading is Hard emphasizes the importance of decoding skills, together with the other components that matter in teaching reading: fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. In this webinar, author-educator Robin Bright will explore a new perspective of what balanced literacy looks like, and how to apply that new perspective to teaching reading every day.
