Structured Literacy: Integrating the What, How, Who, and Why of Evidence-Based Reading Instruction
Date: December 9, 2025
Time: 6:30pm to 8:00pm
Join us for a 90-minute interactive webinar exploring Structured Literacy, the comprehensive, evidence-based approach to reading and writing instruction defined by the International Dyslexia Association (IDA). Grounded in decades of Science of Reading research and aligned with scientifically based reading research, Structured Literacy integrates all domains of language-phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics-through explicit, systematic, cumulative, and mastery-oriented instruction. Participants will explore the Structured Literacy Info-Map and Wheel, which illustrate the interconnected framework of:
- The WHAT: The instructional content-word recognition, spelling, handwriting, comprehension, and composition-grounded in the structure of language.
- The HOW: The guiding principles of effective teaching-explicit, sequential, multimodal, scaffolded, and data-driven.
- The WHO: How Structured Literacy supports all students across tiers of instruction, including those with dyslexia and multilingual learners.
- The WHY: The scientific and ethical imperative to ensure literacy as a civil right and to prevent reading failure.
Educators, specialists, and administrators will leave with a clear framework for aligning classroom practice to the Science of Reading and actionable strategies for implementing Structured Literacy with fidelity.
