Comparing Reading Research to Program Design (April 2020 Webinar)

In this webinar, participants will hear from four literacy experts as they discuss what it means to apply “the science of reading” to an actual reading program. In January 2020, seven researchers (including three you’ll hear from tonight) reviewed Teachers College Units of Study to understand how the content and practices within the program align with the latest research. They’ll discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the program, how they conducted the reviews, and what this means for students, teachers, and decision makers. This webinar is a must-watch for anyone using or considering Units of Study, as well as anyone wanting to better understand how to use reading research in the instructional materials selection process.
