What is Plain Talk About Reading?
Plain Talk About Reading is heralded as the nation's premier reading institute. The Institute gained its reputation because of its clear focus on providing the latest scientifically based reading research (SBRR) and strategies for those who teach reading at all ages and grade levels.
From the nation's leading researchers, you will learn the current findings on reading instruction, reading difficulties and reading intervention.
From seasoned practitioners, learn classroom strategies that put this knowledge to work.
