Are you ready for an empowering and informative session designed especially for families?   We will explore what the Science of Reading really means and how the brain learns to read. More importantly, you’ll walk away with simple, practical ways to support your child’s reading journey at home. Whether your child is just beginning to read or facing challenges like dyslexia, this session is about partnering together to help every child become a confident, successful reader.

“Your student is meeting benchmark.” What does this mean? Have you ever felt confused about what is being shared from school about your child’s reading? This session describes common reading assessment terms and answers commonly asked questions about reading data.

As students grow older, their literacy challenges often shift. Many can decode but still struggle with reading comprehension, written expression, and executive functioning demands. In this session, parents will learn how to recognize and support these often hidden difficulties. We’ll explore how working memory, processing speed, and organization affect reading and writing — especially for students with dyslexia, ADHD, or other learning differences. You’ll leave with specific strategies to help your child plan assignments, break down writing tasks, strengthen comprehension, and become more independent in their learning.
