How We Remember Written Words and Why Some Kids Struggle
Description
Join us for this fascinating discussion with David Kilpatrick, Ph.D., who has spent most of his career studying how we learn to read and the most effective ways to teach literacy. Dr. Kilpatrick explains how, with the right knowledge and tools, teachers can change lives because most word-level reading problems are correctable, and if we start early, preventable.
The discussion will focus on how children learn to read and remember words and why some children struggle. Understanding the nature of word-level reading development and word-level reading problems will guide assessment, instruction, and intervention. Dr. Kilpatrick will emphasize how helping educators establish a knowledge base allows them to implement more effective instructional and intervention practices.
Listeners will learn:
- How students turn unfamiliar words into familiar and instantly accessible written words
- Why some students struggle in remembering written words
- How to help students who struggle in word-level reading
And more!
