2025 speakers: Holly Lane, Pam Kastner, Hugh Catts, and Sonia Cabell will cover a range of topics including building a strong literacy foundation, using spelling to inform instruction and intervention, rethinking comprehension and how to promote it in the classroom, and improving oral language through content-rich conversation. We will wrap up our day with educators from the School District of Cudahy Wisconsin sharing the challenges and successes of their journey into the science of reading and the results they are seeing. No need to worry about breakout rooms - all presentations are in general session!
