"Ever since those long ago days as a reading specialist I have become an advocate for reading fluency. And, research done by myself and other reading scholars have solidified my understanding that reading fluency is essential for reading progress and that many of our struggling readers are not sufficiently fluent.” - Tim Rasinski, Professor of Literacy Education, Kent State University
An overwhelmingly essential part of student life and educational instruction, developing a passion for and understanding of reading have clear benefits for students beyond the classroom. But it can be difficult to hone in on the appropriate strategies, alongside the right tools, that help reduce workload while offering learners the best possible chance at becoming top-tier readers.
That’s why we’ve prepared a variety of resources this Back To School season, including Webinars, blogs, guides, and more, to help educators develop insight and approach the new semester with a renewed vigour for all things reading. You’ll also get the opportunity to explore the tools that directly impact student reading and comprehension. We hope you enjoy this Back To School kick-off with us!
