Learn about research and methods for teaching reading in Zaner-Bloser’s on-demand webinars for elementary teachers and administrators.
Thanks to a large body of research collectively known as the science of reading, we know that intentionally building foundational skills is critical to success at the K–2 level. This webinar connects the research with practical ways to bring foundational skills instruction to life in the classroom and explores what science tells us about how to best teach primary students to develop phonological and phonemic awareness, phonics skills, and reading fluency.
