We are excited to launch our very first The Reading Leading California event! Join us as we view the documentary The Right to Read and engage in a discussion of how we can advance the science of reading movement in our state.
Do you have students who can decode relatively well but struggle to spell correctly? Join us as we welcome Dr. Shelley Blackwell to discuss how the reading brain learns to spell and how to analyze spelling errors to direct instruction. Evidence-based instruction ideas and interventions will be provided to use at all tiers of spelling instruction.
Join us for a conversation with Lindsay Kemeny as she shares highlights from her book, 7 Might Moves: Research-Backed, Classroom-Tested Strategies to Ensure K to 3 Reading Success. Gather with like-minded educators to learn some new strategies and walk away with great ideas to implement in your classroom.

Join The Reading League California for an intriguing and informative session with Dr. Julie Washington from UC Irvine. She will share how learning to read depends upon learning the phonemic, phonological, syntactic and morphological structure of words. For children who speak varieties of English that differ from General American English these domains of language may differ significantly from text, making it harder to learn to read and write. In the case of African American children in particular, use of the language variety African American English has been found to influence outcomes in reading, writing, spelling and assessment and this is particularly true for children growing up in poverty. This presentation will focus on the intersection of language variation, poverty and reading acquisition for African American children in preschool through fifth grade.
