Science of Reading: An Introduction
Does it suddenly seem as if everyone is talking about early literacy and "The Science of Reading"? What does it all mean? In this session, Lillio's CEO and CPO, both former classroom educators, explain and discuss the foundations of language and literacy as it develops in the early years. Participants will walk away with immediate and actionable strategies for developmentally appropriate ways to ensure that everyday interactions and experiences provide opportunities for developing future successful readers.
