Every Educator Counts: Science + Joy = Impact | Read Alouds
MARCH 26, 2025

Did you know that read-alouds support not only literacy development but also content-area knowledge, social-emotional learning, and academic achievement? During this interactive webinar, PreK-8 educators will learn what the science says about the importance of read alouds. We’ll be joined by special guest Dr. Molly Ness, Founder of Dirigo Literacy and author of Read Aloud for All Learners, who will model how to infuse joy with research-based best practices to reading aloud.

Every Book Counts

A webinar series sharing how literature can be used to teach lessons across a variety of disciplines ranging from Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) to arts integration. 

Every Family Counts

A family-focused webinar series providing resources and tips to empower families and caregivers with everyday tools and support they can leverage to build a culture of literacy at home and support their child’s reading development.
