A Presentation from Dr. Chase Young
The Art and Science of Teaching Reading
As leaders strive to bring evidence-based practices into K-3 reading instruction, they are tasked with making shifts quickly—but responsibly. In this presentation, Dr. Young shares how scientific research and state standards can be used to plan curriculum that systematically develops phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension in creative—rather than scripted ways.
He will address:
- The scientific research in major components necessary for learning to read
- Explore how the research can be used to develop engaging to reading instruction
- How knowing the research and encouraging artful approaches can empower your teachers to implement creative, authentic, and aesthetic instruction.
Engagement is at the core of learning to read. Children bring to this remarkable quest cognitive, metacognitive, behavioral, and emotional dimensions. And so, it only makes sense that teachers’ artful instruction and decision-making based on data is a vital part of the SOR implementation story.
