Literacy Instruction in Pre-K: What District Leaders Need to Know
The Science of Reading confirms it: reading proficiency skills begin to develop long before third grade!
In this one-hour webinar, three school leaders from NYC, Chicago, and Fort Worth will share how they are intentionally laying the foundation for better reading outcomes in third grade, for all students.
Hear how they made critical decisions about:
- Evaluating and selecting the right Pre-K curriculum
- Developing and implementing professional learning plans for their teams
- Working across their education systems to improve third grade reading scores
Participants will leave this webinar with practical information and inspiration for building their own pathways to third grade reading proficiency.
In this webinar series, we will dive into the five pillars of the science of reading (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension) in an early childhood setting. We will examine each of these pillars through the lens of the five essentials for pre-reading: literacy in authentic contexts, playing with pre-reading, individualized supports and skill instruction, quality children’s literature, and family engagement.
