Welcome to our workshop library! Moving forward, our new videos will focus on structured literacy. This includes topics related to pre-reading, reading instruction, writing, and penmanship.
Over the next few months, we’ll be replacing some of our trainings with a more streamlined series of workshops that will help you implement a structured literacy approach.
