David and Meredith Liben Talk Comprehension Tuesday, August 20 4:00 PM ET
While foundational skills continue to dominate the Science of Reading (SOR) discussion, it’s time to refocus on the end goal of SOR: readers who can read and comprehend any text.
Join David and Meredith Liben for a lively discussion facilitated by Dr. Irvin Scott on their must-read new book Know Better, Do Better: Comprehension. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how the mind learns to comprehend text, translating theory and research about what children truly need to become proficient readers into practice. Emphasizing the importance of asking questions, expanding vocabulary, and building knowledge, this book is an excellent resource for all education leaders and practitioners looking to ensure children excel in reading.

Voices from the Field: All Means All Thursday, April 10, 4:00 PM ET
When districts search for a core curriculum, they want something that will support ALL students no matter their background, language, or learning style. But too often, core curriculums are designed to “teach to the middle” with supports for striving readers, language learners, and other diverse learners added on afterward. What would happen if things were different? What might happen with a curriculum developed, from the beginning, in classrooms of diverse, multilingual learners and designed to unleash the full potential of every child?
Join Dr. Irvin Scott and district leaders from across the country as they discuss the ARC Core® experience in their districts.
