Alaska Science of Reading Symposium 2024
Get ready for the 2024 Alaska Science of Reading Symposium! April 19-21, 2024 at the Dena’ina Civic and Convention Center.
OUR GOAL
What does “Science of Reading” mean in Alaska?
The Science of Reading is an ongoing field of study that examines the last fifty years of research to determine the most effective way to teach reading. A scientific approach to reading instruction includes explicit, systematic, instruction in phonological awareness (sounds), phonics, fluency (ability to read accurately and at an appropriate rate), vocabulary, and comprehension.
What can attendees expect?
Our challenge is to ensure every child is proficient in reading with access to skilled educators implementing evidence-based practices. Alaska’s Science of Reading Symposium will explore the research, its implications, and the urgency of action for students across our great state.
