SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:The International Dyslexia Association Georgia and The Reading League Georgia have partnered to bring you the 2023 Spotlight on Structured Literacy Webinar Series. The webinars are FREE and OPEN to all. Certificates of Attendance will be available for registrants who complete a post-webinar knowledge check/survey form within the deadline after each event.  \nWednesday\, February 8\, 2023 (#2 in the Series)\nThe Science of Reading Comprehension\n\nRegister Here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-science-of-reading-comprehension-2-spotlight-on-structured-literacy-tickets-519197743427  \nThe Science of Reading (SOR) has had a significant influence on the public’s knowledge about current reading practices and the changes required to institutionalize change in implementing the SOR in our schools. Much of the SOR has focused on the foundation skills such as phonemic awareness\, phonics\, and other word reading practices. This is necessary because the challenges of learning to read are largely remedied through improving these foundation skills and using SOR to do so. However\, there are other critical instructional practices that are necessary to enhance reading outcomes for students with dyslexia including text based reading strategies that support building background knowledge and comprehension\, vocabulary enhancement\, and fluency.  This presentation will provide a knowledge base from the research on several elements of improving reading outcomes for students with dyslexia. \nDr. Sharon Vaughn (Professor\, The University of Texas) is the Manuel J. Justiz Endowed Chair in Education and the Executive Director of The Meadows Center for Preventing Educational Risk\, an organized research unit that she founded with a “make a wish” gift from the Meadows Foundation family. She is the recipient of numerous awards including the first woman in the history of The University of Texas to receive the Distinguished Faculty and Research Award\, the CEC research award\, the AERA SIG distinguished researcher award\, and the Jeannette E. Fleischner Award for Outstanding Contributions in the Field of LD from CEC. She is the author of more than 40 books and 350 research articles. Several of these research articles have won awards: one\, the A.J. Harris International Literacy Association award for best article published and\, another\, the School Psychology award for best article. She is currently Principal Investigator on several Institute for Education Sciences\, National Institute for Child Health and Human Development\, and U.S. Department of Education research grants. She works as a senior adviser to the National Center on Intensive Interventions and has more than six articles that have met the What Works Clearing House Criteria for their intervention reports. She has conducted technical assistance in literacy to more than 10 countries and 30 State Departments of Education and has worked as a literacy consultant to more than 50 technical assistance projects.

SUMMARY:2024 Spotlight on Structured Literacy Series: “Aligning State Literacy Policies & Practices” Webinar
DESCRIPTION:IDA-GA and TRL-GA presents the “2024 Spotlight on Structured Literacy Series\,” a program of four webinars focusing on “Promoting Structured Literacy: Policy to Practice.” \nThe first webinar is “Aligning State Literacy Policies & Practices: Connecting the Georgia Council on Literacy (SB 211)\, the Georgia Early Literacy Act (HB 538)\, and Georgia’s Dyslexia Efforts (SB 48)” is on Wednesday\, January 17th\, at 7pm ET. \nNote: All registered webinar attendees (including those who watch the webinar recording at a later time) who complete a post-webinar knowledge check/survey will be eligible for a Certificate of Attendance. \nRegister here*: https://forms.gle/vTzhRZUWD2nTCdmz8 \n(*Registration closes January 16 at 11:59 p.m.) \nDescription: \nIn the past several years\, the Georgia General Assembly passed three significant literacy bills – the Georgia Council on Literacy (SB 211)\, the Georgia Early Literacy Act (HB 538)\, and Dyslexia Identification and Supports (SB 48). SB 211 created a 30-member Council on Literacy with its primary role to monitor and report on implementation of HB 538. HB 538 requires screening of K-3 students on their reading proficiency three times a year\, teacher training in the Science of Reading\, approval of high-quality instructional and screening tools\, and realignment of teacher certification requirements. SB 48 requires all K-3 students to be screened for dyslexia\, the development of a dyslexia informational handbook\, professional development opportunities for teachers\, and the creation of a dyslexia endorsement for teachers. This presentation will address the alignment of these three legislative measures and the potential impact on changing the trajectory of literacy in Georgia. \nLearn more about the webinar and presenters here: https://ga.dyslexiaida.org/event/2024jan17/.
