Discover the power of aligned reading practice
The research is clear: developing strong readers requires high-quality, evidence-based texts aligned to instruction at every grade level.
For early readers in grades K-1, decoding instruction helps build connections between sounds and letters, supporting accurate word reading and comprehension. As students advance into grade 2 and beyond, they benefit from authentic texts that let them apply new skills while building knowledge, vocabulary, and confidence.
Join Judie Caroleo, Director of Product, Literacy of 95 Percent Group, and Louise Baigelman, CEO of Storyshares, in this engaging webinar as they discuss:
- Current research on providing engaging, skill-aligned texts to support student practice and proficiency.
- The importance of aligning text with core and intervention instruction to support ongoing skill development.
