Recording of Maryanne Wolf: How Multi-component Intervention Can Connect Science and Story - From the Reading Brain to the Classroom Webinar

Presenter:   Dr. Maryanne Wolf Description: One of the most iconic thought leaders of our time can't wait to show you how science-based strategies featuring imaginative characters like Splendiferous Spiders and Empathic Frogs can help create an explosion in vocabulary and fluency skills, catapulting comprehension for your students! This presentation will begin with an overview of the multiple components that contribute to the developing reading brain. Based on years of "gold-standard," randomized control treatment studies, the multi-component intervention approach by Wolf and her colleagues will be described as an exceptional complement and proven expansion of work on phonics and phoneme awareness in approaches such as Orton Gillingham, Lively Letters, and other structured literacy interventions.  Emphasized throughout will be the need to connect phonics and phonemes with the powerful contributions of semantic development that is clear and obvious to students (vocabulary writ large!)
