The Science of Engagement and the Joy of Reading
Workshop with Donalyn Miller

The Science of Reading research is transforming literacy education nation-wide by providing educators a solid, evidence-based framework to build strong reading foundations for students. But how do we create environments that will continue nurture and support reading engagement beyond the primary years? Engaged readers are more likely to achieve higher comprehension and long-term academic success.
Join Donalyn Miller, an expert author and educator, for an interactive workshop where she will explore strategies to inspire and sustain students' love for reading.
