Jacque Daughtry is the CEO of Literacy Now and Jacklyn Wilson is their chief Operating officer. Only about 30% of Houston Area 3rd graders can read at their 3rd grade level when they are pushed into 4th grade. This condemns these kids to a life of poverty and, probably, petty crime or worse. That's what the data tells us. Literacy Now helps those kids catch up to their reading level and it works because there is nothing wrong with the kids! It's how we allow our public education system to fail them that is wrong. Other programs Literacy Now operates help them achieve this goal: Reading Intervention, The Reading Express and the crucial Parent Partnership because without the parents participating, it's harder to get the kids to learn.

This episode is an interview with Dr. Teresa Ukrainetz, who specializes in school-age language intervention. Her current research centers on how to help students with language impairments gain control of the words and ideas of informational text, and her brilliantly simply method for this intervention is called Sketch and Speak. Here is a snippet from the interview: “I really wanted to look at expository. I felt like we were largely at sea trying to figure out how to support learning of informational text and expository discourse, and it's extra hard compared to narrative in that it's based on new learning. . . Kids are not only learning how to tell a story or how to understand a story with expository, they're learning chemistry and biology and history, and so they've got a lot of new content they're handling.” Research has shown just how valuable Sketch and Speak is for improving spoken language, something SLPs realize as soon as they start using it.

Today’s students and teachers are under increasing pressure to show early progress and success in reading. Not all of this can be attributed to a desire to increase standardized test scores, as some may fear; it also has to do with a concern that kids will be “left behind” if they are not reading independently by at least third grade. This situation often leads to intervention as a strategy for boosting the skills of slow or reluctant readers. But is intervention a one-dimensional tool?To view the original blog, visit: https://www.lexialearning.com//blog/5-classroom-strategies-early-reading-intervention

What’s all the excitement about? It’s simple. In the last ten years, we have learned more about the brain than we have in the previous 50 years. But what applies to education? This forward-thinking session explores the cutting edge discoveries that do have “real world implication” for all educators. Learn the latest from the cutting edge of brain research. Discover why the brain is the next significant area for educators. Find out what’s new in the future for educators. Learn specific strategies you can use to improve student achievement immediately on reinventing the learning process and the connection between games and tools.

What is autism and what is the latest information on Autism? Learn about the latest evidence-based research on Autism. What range of behaviors would an autistic student exhibit?
This webinar will cover autism and the behaviors exhibited by autistic children. We will look at the characteristics that are displayed by autistic students and how you can support these students in your district. What interventions could be available to these students in your district? How can early intervention with these students impact the quality of their education and ultimately their day to day lives?
Find out how brain research was put into practice at the Westfield-Washington School District in Westfield, Indiana where students are demonstrating great gains in individual performance. Students showed advancement of 1 year, 1 month using the Fast ForWord programs with an average use of 70 days for 30 minutes a day. 1552 students moved from the 37th percentile to the 61st percentile within an average of 74 days. More than half of the struggling learners moved up at least one level toward proficiency. Through the use of individualized, adaptive computer exercises, actual physical changes occur in the brain--enhancing skills necessary for reading and learning.

Transcript -- Educational consultant Glynnis Smith describes a reading intervention programme being used in primary schools to help children who are making slow progress with literacy.
As our understanding of how people's brains work and how people learn has improved through neuroscience and cognitive science research over the years, we now see that the way we typically teach and test often doesn't match up well with how individual students learn. Using the theory of disruptive innovation, which describes how products or services that offer simplicity, affordability, and convenience transform a market that was previously dominated by complicated, expensive, and inaccessible ones, Michael Horn will describe how online learning is disrupting our notion of a classroom and how it offers the possibility of moving toward a student-centric learning system that is much more focused on different people's distinct learning needs.
The New Science of Learning is being created by the rapid growth in our scientific understanding of brain development and plasticity. Some recent research findings will be reviewed. The presentation will also review how neuroscience can be applied to the development of training tools that can help enhance literacy and learning in students.
David Boulton discusses the Children of the Code Project and how children learn.
Dr. Michael Merzenich will discuss how his research in brain plasticity can ultimately affect student performance.
Dr. Paula Tallal will discuss her over 40 years of research in neuroscience and how this research can be applied to the classroom to help your struggling students.
