I enjoyed attending the Science of Reading: What do I need to know. This session was very engaging, and I loved learning about the Reading League. I hope we can get a chapter in Virginia. It is so important to have a dedicated group promoting reading for all students. Educating others about what can be done prior to entering school is essential. One of the things I enjoyed today was the explanation of the strands that are used involved in reading. It is an intertwining. Sometimes, I receive resistance in why use this strategy instead of something else. The graphic that showed how the CER and Learning strategies fit perfectly with what makes good research-based reading instruction.
