There are so many valuable reading and literacy conferences it can be challenging to attend them all, but our Literacy Talks audience is in luck. Donell Pons, one of our podcast hosts, traveled to the SSSR Conference, and in this episode, she shares many of the insights and new data points she learned at this event. From the importance of teaching letter/sound combinations to the role of oral language comprehension, listeners will have the opportunity to take a deeper dive into reading science’s meta-analyses and recent studies. It’s like having a front-row seat at this important event for reading educators!
