This training focuses on the effective use of decodable readers in alignment with core curricula to enhance decoding abilities, fluency, and overall reading proficiency. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the Science of Reading, the role of decodables, and strategies to accelerate early reading skills. This training will enable a strong implementation of Just Right Reader Decodables, ensuring all students can achieve reading success.
