What’s this webinar about?

The Science of Reading is a step towards advancing the literacy of millions of students. But while evidence-based instruction, curriculum, and professional development will take us far, we still need to account for staff shortages, scaffolding, and support independent learning.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) specialist and former secondary language arts educator Joni Degner will show how the addition of technology tools (like speech-to-text and more) can empower learners to read and understand content independently.

  • Modeling fluent reading
  • Building phonemic awareness and word recognition
  • Supporting phonemic spelling
  • Assisting with word recognition and pronunciation

Who should attend?
