Many educators understand the importance of explicit phonics instruction, but are not quite sure where to start or how to get the job done. They may have started with explicit instruction, but worry that they are not covering all of the concepts that their students need to become strong readers. Join Heather Willms and Cinta Alberti on September 19 as they share how their new book, This Is How We Teach Reading…And it’s Working, tackles these important questions. In this fast-paced webinar, Willms and Alberti will share an overview of the book, the reasons behind why it was written, and demonstrations of several evidence-based strategies included in the book. We look forward to meeting you in the zoom room!
