Join us for the first session of our year-long book study! In this inaugural session, participants will sign up to receive their copy of The Teach Like a Champion Guide to the Science of Reading and explore its overarching framework. We will unpack how the brain learns to read, focusing on the relationship between working memory, automaticity, and comprehension. Educators will analyze how classroom culture impacts cognitive load and learn how to position reading as an active, engaging pursuit. By the end of this session, we will establish book study norms and outline our future meeting expectations. Participants will leave with a fire in their belly, ready to improve reading instruction and get every student reading on grade level.
