The Underrepresentation of Black Dyslexic Students in American Schools
This presentation delves into the intersectionalities of black dyslexic students in America.
Understanding racism, biases, and special education statistics paints the picture of why the school to prison pipeline continues to exists.

Building Your SOR Classroom Island in a Whole Language Ocean
Phonemic Awareness, Phonics Instruction and Assessment, and Decodable Books
In this Session, we will discuss shifts for classroom instruction in school environments that follow balanced literacy. I will share resources for building solid decoding and spelling foundations and for designing structured literacy small groups to replace classic "guided reading" time. I will also discuss how to assess students' knowledge from this explicit instruction and re-engage in data-based lessons.
This session is intended for K-2 teachers new to the Science of Reading. The information in this course will be helpful for Tier 1-3 instruction as well as one-one tutoring or even homeschooling parents!
The Relationship Between Spelling and Orthographic Learning
In this session, participants will gain an understanding of the research on spelling and how it impacts orthographic learning and reading achievement. Following a review of the research and some reflection on the benefits that spelling practices can provide, a description of the implications for instruction and demonstration of spelling practices that align with the research will give participants a clear picture of research-based spelling practices that can be easily implemented in a variety of settings.
