“To Cue or Not to Cue? There Should be No Question:” Challenging Current Practices in the Science of Reading Era

Session Submission Type: Alternative Format Session

Abstract

Educators face incredible challenges as the Science of Reading (SOR) initiative continues to drive educational mandates and programmatic changes. The session will deconstruct instructional realities faced by educators tasked with teaching reading in the SOR era. This session will use Mursion technology to simulate current challenges with reading instruction. Participants will then engage in structured dialogue in three small groups (teacher agency, professional action, research) to proactively address these challenges and plan for future action.
