Mastering the Five Pillars of Reading & Key Strategies

The workshop identifies evidence-based approaches for explicitly teaching the five pillars of reading recommended by the National Reading Panel — Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Reading Comprehension, Fluency, Vocabulary. It also uses posters to illustrate key strategies for enhancing reading skills–such as daily practice, consistency, repetition, guided practice, reading aloud, vocabulary instruction, graphic organizers, and modeling.

Integrating Other Essential Literacy Components

The workshop defines, explains, and demonstrates how to integrate other essential literacy components, such as writing, spelling, grammar/conventions, and listening/speaking, into reading instruction to enhance student reading skills.

Understanding The History of Reading

This overview explores the evolution of reading instruction, from the emergence of two major theories — the Word Method and the Phonics Method — to the current approach based on the Science of Reading.

Matching Instruction to How the Brain Reads

The brain reads by activating areas responsible for language, speech, and comprehension so that readers quickly recognize words and their meanings through neural pathways. Maximizing brain connections on these pathways enables fluent reading while struggling readers have fewer or less efficient pathways, which can slow down the reading process.

What Do Clients Say?

” I have one minute between sessions and wanted to say a quick thank you. Staff are buzzing after the session today! I am very grateful for your time today. You have dispelled misconceptions and inspired staff. I will be in touch but wanted to give you this exciting positive outcome from today. Thank you!!”

Laura O’Hara

“EDI has helped me structure lessons that make learning accessible and successful for all students. It lowers the affective filter of my English Learners, and allows them access to grade-level content and vocabulary. When used in Language Arts, reading is strengthened by a focused unpacking of the students. This makes a complicated process of learning accessible to all students.”
