Keynote Session

It’s Time to Stop Talking About the Literacy Crisis

In this provocative keynote, we’ll move beyond the traditional discussion of the problems of reading instruction in America and discuss what we can actually do about it. We will debunk the most common myths about early childhood development and reading instruction, learn how to make the science of reading more accessible and easier to implement, and discover the most important and yet least utilized weapon in the war on reading: our children’s parents.
