Kind Words from Attendees

  • “Unlocking SOR was the best PD on the Science of Reading I did all year! My fellow reading specialists and I immediately made some shifts and implemented a bunch of suggestions from this conference. So amazing!”

    — Kristin

  • “I had the opportunity to take part in the SOR conference and I cannot express how valuable it was! What I loved most is that the presenters not only spoke about the Science of Reading but they provided explicit and hands on activities that you can use in a classroom or even as a parent or educational tutor. They also provided material that helped me get started on this journey. I can’t wait for more learning opportunities with this group of dedicated professionals!”

    — Dafni

  • “Unlocking SOR is amazing and so full of extremely helpful information from phonics to comprehension. I was able to take strategies for whole group phonics instruction as well as intervention back to my classroom and implement immediately. I was also able to restructure my comprehension small groups to align with structured literacy strategies shared. This is 💯 a conference I would attend again!”

    — Alison

We’ve been there too…

It was not that long ago that we, even as experienced teachers, were feeling the stress of not being able to reach all readers. We knew there had to be a better way. Enter the Science of Reading.
