Two years ago, at the first Close the Reading Gap Summit, I asked top professionals in the field of literacy and reading remediation: Can a parent at home teach a child with dyslexia or other reading issues? The experts all answered with a clear: Yes! Last year, our wonderful speakers dove more deeply into how to deliver reading intervention.

In this summit, you will hear some of our nation's top voices on: how to make assessment easier, "pre-teaching" before reading, the best word games for increasing phonological awareness, how and in what books children should be practicing guided reading to build fluency, as well as how to become a skilled listener who can give the right kind of feedback for a struggling reader. You will get "best of the best" advice on how to teach phonics, increase reading comprehension, and support writing. There will also be special sections on setting expectations for neurodivergent children and on the speech-to-print method for teaching phonics.
