Join Doug Lemov for an exclusive training event in Bangkok. This one-day professional learning experience offers educators the opportunity to learn directly from one of the world’s most influential voices in teaching and learning.
Drawing on the latest research from cognitive science and the principles explored in The Teach Like a Champion Guide to the Science of Reading, this highly practical workshop will unpack how students become powerful readers after phonics, and what great literacy instruction looks like from primary through to secondary education and beyond.
Throughout the day, Doug will translate research into clear, actionable classroom techniques. Using video from outstanding classrooms, curriculum examples and guided practice, participants will explore how to strengthen reading comprehension, build knowledge, and develop students who read with confidence, fluency, and purpose.
What you’ll explore
This workshop focuses particularly on the language comprehension strand of Scarborough’s Reading Rope, making it ideal for educators working with Grade 2 and above across English and other subject areas.
Key themes include:
- The critical role of background knowledge in reading comprehension
- The critical and overlooked challenge of disfluency
- Strategies for building and sustaining student attention
- Creating strong communities of readers through shared reading
- Using purposeful writing to deepen understanding of texts
- Developing vocabulary and knowledge systematically
- Approaches to text complexity and close reading across subjects
- The research supporting the reading of whole books in English classrooms.
Doug will also share seven key principles for developing strong readers “post-phonics”, the stage when students have mastered letter–sound correspondence but must now learn how to read increasingly complex texts throughout their academic journey.
A practical, high-impact learning experience
Participants will:
- Practise instructional techniques that strengthen literacy teaching
- Explore lesson examples and curriculum materials developed by Doug and his team
- Watch and analyse video from top classrooms
- Develop strategies that can be applied across all subject areas
- Leave with resources and materials to use immediately in their schools
In case you haven’t read Doug’s new book here’s what Daniel Willingham has to say about it:
“I love this book. Every teacher who asks their students to read will find it becomes the most worn on their shelf; it’s a wellspring of clear explanation of the science of reading, and practical strategies for helping students become successful readers.”
And here’s what a school head in Washington, D.C. had to say:
“This book is simply PHENOMENAL to guide an adolescent literacy program. The text features an ideal mix of research and practical insights that I can implement tomorrow in our classrooms.”
