of attendees surveyed thought our Introduction to Basic Reading Instruction course was worth the investment!
The Reading League Intro to Reading Instruction provided excellent information about the six syllable types, how brains learn to read, pitfalls of balanced literacy, and what to do to support your student at school or at home based on the science of reading. I appreciated that the course was not watered down for non-educators. Highly worth the time!!
