Still such a great buzz from this event last week - loved learning with so many NV educators!
Last week, more than 350 #NevadaEducators attended the Summer #Literacy Institute! The institute featured more than 50 literacy experts sharing their insights on the #ScienceOfReading. unr.edu/nevada-today/news/20…

I had the honor to deliver the keynote speech to help kick-off the first day of Nevada’s 2024 Pre-K to Grade 12 Summer Literacy Institute. The Summer Literacy Institute welcomes literacy educators from across Nevada, offering them free access to three days of expert-level professional learning supported by evidence-based research. This is a unique statewide program aimed at integrating the Science of Reading into daily practice in classrooms. Thank you to @unrcoehd and @nvstateed for sponsoring this event! #GoPack
