Cape Cod Two-Day Seminars
The Science of Reading is an ever-growing body of research from cognitive scientists, neuroscientists, educational psychologists, researchers, education professionals, and developmental scientists that explains and analyzes how the brain learns to read. The human brain was not wired for reading; it is not an innate skill that develops naturally, such as listening and speaking. Instead, reading must be taught through an explicit, multimodal approach. This 2-day seminar will provide an overview of the Science of Reading and how the key takeaways should impact literacy instruction.
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
LEVEL
This course is appropriate for educators at all levels (elementary, middle, and secondary).
MATERIALS
Materials will be provided on-site.
GRADUATE CREDIT
There is an option to add one (1) graduate credit to this 2-day course from Fitchburg State University. Graduate credit is optional; the cost is $210 and the non-refundable payment is made directly to Fitchburg. The timeline to opt into graduate credit is firm and details will be available once the course begins so you can make your final decision at that time.
