Why read-alouds work: Building confident readers at every grade level

Decades of literacy research point to read-alouds as one of the most powerful tools educators have for supporting literacy development. When read-alouds are absent from the classroom, the effect on students' comprehension and content-area learning can be significant — yet the practice is often centered on early elementary students alone. So what does the evidence actually say about the benefits? 

Join literacy expert Dr. Molly Ness, author of Read Alouds for All Learners, on the research behind read-alouds and how educators at different grade levels can put these findings into practice.

You’ll learn:

• How read-alouds fit into the science of reading and why their impact extends beyond early childhood
• How to build a simple read-aloud routine that works
• How read-alouds can extend into different subject areas beyond ELA
