Join us for a three-part video series hosted by Robin Rubenstein, Director of Curriculum and Implementation at Lavinia Group.
Through candid conversations with leading literacy researchers and practitioners, Robin explores some of the biggest questions facing schools today: How do students become strong readers and writers? What role does knowledge play in comprehension? How should writing, reading, and foundational skills work together? And what does strong literacy instruction look like across the grades?
Participants will explore:
- What happens after students become efficient decoders?
- What is the best way to measure reading growth when texts become more complex?
- What is the role of writing in literacy development?
- How can schools build strong foundations while also providing students meaningful opportunities to develop comprehension skills?
Grounded in research and classroom practice, the series examines how schools can support students in using literacy as a tool for learning, thinking, and understanding the world.
Please note: This video series is not eligible for continuing education (CE) credits or professional development hours.
Our information session recordings are topical and focus on research-based instructional strategies and how they align with RedThread’s high-quality instructional materials (HQIM). Each session explores how coaching, intentional instructional moves, and strong curriculum materials support sustainable literacy systems.
Students reach a critical transition when they move from controlled texts to authentic texts in grades 3-5. This session explores how to support students as they apply phonics, build fluency, and strengthen comprehension.
In this session, we’ll explore how the RedThread approach uses complete texts as the backbone of literacy development, weaving together reading, writing, and discussion in ways that build knowledge and confidence over time.
This edLeader Panel brings together Joan Sedita’s expertise in adolescent literacy and Jillian Roche’s expertise in curriculum development to explore what makes literacy instruction in the secondary grades both unique and essential.
The RedThread team regularly hosts webinars and professional learning sessions for educators working to strengthen reading instruction. Join our list to be the first to hear about new events, webinar recordings, and literacy resources.
