The Teach Like a Champion Guide to the Science of Reading

With Doug Lemov

Join Doug Lemov for an exclusive training on the science of reading. Explore key principles for post-phonics instruction, gain classroom strategies, and preview his new book. Transform your teaching and boost student achievement.

July 1 @ 8:30 am - 3:30 pm BST

Join Doug Lemov, internationally renowned educator and author of Teach Like a Champion for this exclusive training session, which will focus on the science behind reading instruction and offer a “sneak preview” of Doug’s new book (with Colleen Driggs and Erica Woolway) on the topic.

The book, The Teach Like a Champion Guide to the Science of Reading, focuses on seven key principles for ensuring that students become strong readers “post-phonics” that is, after they have acquired strong knowledge of letter-sound correspondence through systematic phonics instruction, ideally by year 2.

What then? How should students learn to read for the rest of their school days up to and including university years? The science Doug will argue is clear, surprising and often-ignored.

The workshop will include video from top classrooms and sample lesson items from the curriculum Doug and his team has developed for secondary students.

Several of the topics—building students’ attentional skills; using background knowledge to foster comprehension; systematically building student attention; using a variety of intentional writing exercises to enhance student’s memory of text and mastery of syntax—will be relevant to teachers of all subjects and grade levels.

Participants will receive a PDF version of several chapters of the forthcoming book as well.
