With the exhaustive research behind 21s century approaches, reading failure is not an option. Successful literacy effort involves environment, cognitive approaches and tapping into the neurobiological conditions that foster reading strength. Literature continues to suggest that with formal and careful instruction, close to 50 percent of students learn to read relatively easily with any type of instruction. What happens to the remainder? With an emphasis on all content areas - language arts, science, mathematics, social studies - children must learn to read, write, master vocabulary, and spell with flexibility when transitioning among subject areas. Reading skills are foundational skill for academic and occupational success. With a strong base of research, participants will learn to master the art of incorporating research-based approaches to early literacy curriculum and instruction.
