Literacy is a social justice issue! One of the obstacles that prevents children from being proficient readers and spellers is access to knowledge. Even though we know how the brain learns to read, we still have shocking levels of illiteracy in Canada and the US. Throughout the past five decades, the science of reading has provided ample evidence that structured literacy is the approach that should be used to support all learners. Yet many educators and caregivers are still using a balanced literacy approach. In this workshop, we will answer 3 important questions. How does the brain learn to read? Why should we ditch the 3-cueing system and leveled readers? What skills should we explicitly teach our students? Participants will learn about six critical components that support children on their journey to becoming proficient readers and spellers.
