Webinar #9

Level Up Your Structured Literacy Practices: Leverage the Science of Learning to Build Automaticity and Fluency

Presented by Leah Zimmermann, Ph.D., Clinical Assistant Professor of Special Education at the University of Iowa; and Carolyn Brown, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Iowa, and Co-Founder of Foundations in Learning Moderated by Angelia Hoyer, Partner Success and Professional Development Lead, WordFlight Sponsored by WordFlight, a Foundations in Learning Solution The goal of this edWebinar is for viewers to understand principles from the Science of Learning that contribute to automaticity and fluency and how these principles can be integrated into reading assessment and instruction. The presenters provide insights into the development of automaticity, demonstrate how automaticity can be measured, and discuss how key learning principles inform, strengthen, and expand the Science of Reading. In addition, the presenters introduce conditions of practice that support retention, generalization, and automatic word recognition, and, in turn, support reading fluency development. The session concludes with the application principles from the Science of Learning to classroom instruction to develop automaticity. This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders.

Closing the Fluency Gap Series – Part 2: Building the Foundations for Fluency and for Deep Reading

Presented by Maryanne Wolf, Director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners, and Social Justice, UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies; Carolyn Brown, Ph.D., Chief Academic Officer and Co-Founder, Foundations in Learning; and Jerry Zimmermann, Ph.D., J.D., VP of Research and Co-Founder, Foundations in Learning Moderated by Tim Odegard, Murfree Chair of Excellence in Dyslexic Studies and Professor of Psychology, Middle Tennessee State University Sponsored by WordFlight, a Foundations in Learning Solution In this edLeader Panel, noted literacy scholars Maryanne Wolf, author of Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World, and Tim Odegard, a leading dyslexia expert, along with reading researchers Carolyn Brown, Ph.D. and Jerry Zimmermann, Ph.D., J.D., will discuss the conditions that support not only fluency, but also deep reading. The development of the complex and interactive neural networks necessary for deep reading will be framed by Maryanne’s multi-componential approach for building fluency.
