Professional Development: 1.5 hours
The Science of Reading has been a hot topic in education, but what does it mean for public libraries? Literacy Consultant, Lu Benke, PhD, will be joining us for an online informational workshop exploring the key principles of the Science of Reading and how they intersect with the work of Youth Services Librarians. We will address both the opportunities and the challenges it brings to our work. Learn research-based concepts while discovering innovative strategies to support literacy development in your community. We'll examine our unique role as librarians in promoting lifelong reading success for readers of all abilities. Whether you're new to the topic or looking to deepen your understanding, this workshop is designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools to make an impact.
