Breakfast Seminar - Move Learning Forward
SPIRE® Overview
Are you looking for an effective way to teach students who struggle with reading? Look no further than SPIRE – the program developed by OG Fellow Sheila Clark Edmands.
SPIRE is an intensive multisensory reading intervention program that utilizes research-based best practices for reading and language development. With direct, explicit, and systematic instruction in phonological awareness, phonics, spelling, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary, SPIRE brings the Orton-Gillingham approach and science of reading principles to work in the classroom.
This complete program is easy to implement for teachers of all levels, featuring sequentially structured lessons that cover everything from phonics to comprehension, from print to digital. Plus, with flexible professional development, you can be confident in your teachers' ability to teach these students more effectively.
Join us for an engaging breakfast seminar where we'll provide an overview of SPIRE. Discover how you can help your striving readers and students with dyslexia be successful with the right program, guidance, and support.
