This stand-alone webinar will be LIVE on Tuesday, November 14th from 3:30pm to 5:30pm, Pacific Time.

What is the most effective way to teach reading in a primary classroom? Are foundational phonics skills sufficient for students to become fully literate? Where and how does comprehension fit?
Join BC author and educator Adrienne Gear as she explores these questions, discusses the latest research and trends in reading instruction, including ideas found in the new BC Ministry’s Learning in the Primary Years document, and shares her thoughts on what an effective primary reading program might look like.
This single webinar is filled with practical tips for building a holistic reading program, lessons, assessment templates, student reproducibles, and of course, Adrienne’s favorite primary reading ANCHOR BOOKS! Come to this webinar and leave feeling reset, recharged, and ready to be an effective, responsive reading teacher!
