Bridging Research to Classroom Application

Big picture

Build Our Literacy Knowledge Together

Join colleagues and friends from across the state as we dive deeper into Dr. Kilpatrick's Essentials of Assessing, Preventing, and Overcoming Reading Difficulties. In each session we will explore what research says about teaching reading, how it is currently being taught, and practical ways to bridge research to classroom practice.


Everyone will need a copy of the book and discussion guide (Chapter guides are linked under each date).


If you are unable to attend live, each session will be recorded and link posted to this flyer.

This is an online event.

In our first session we will discuss the problems associated with the gap between reading research and classroom practice. As we work to scale up Ohio's Plan to Raise Literacy Achievement we find many continue to teach reading based on tradition and intuition rather than using the methods that a large body of research identifies as the most effective. The most important part of our discussion will be to determine ways we can help our schools understand the research and its practical application in the classroom.


To enhance your learning experience, you are welcome to view the webinar series with Dr. Kilpatrick hosted by the Colorado Department of Education. The focus of our first session will be, Modules 0, 1, and 2
