Abstract Description :

We have talked about tools, resources, assessments, and effective reading interventions aligned to the Science of Reading to overcome challenges and meet the needs of the students in our classes. Now let’s REALLY talk! Let’s come together to discuss those lingering questions and all of our current attempts and experiences in the classroom to reach our students: the good, the bad, and, yes, the outright ugly. It is all a part of the process and provides us with an invaluable opportunity for reflection, improved practice, and personal growth!
