The Reading League Arkansas

The Reading League Arkansas promotes literacy through evidence-based reading instruction, empowering educators and families to enhance reading skills and foster a love for learning in children across the state.

By secondary grades, students are expected to read complex texts with accuracy, fluency, and deep&nbsp;understanding. Yet many adolescents continue to struggle, not because they lack comprehension strategies, but because&nbsp;they lack the word-level skills necessary to access academic language. This session will address the disconnect between grade-level expectations and the foundational skill gaps, and how educators can respond effectively across subjects.&nbsp;Join&nbsp;Laura Stewart, Chief Academic Officer at 95 Percent Group,&nbsp;as she&nbsp;shares how strengthening word recognition skills, focusing on multisyllabic decoding and morphological awareness, unlocks access to all content-area reading. Drawing on research and practical classroom application, a well-rounded instructional approach is emphasized, integrating word study, vocabulary, background knowledge, and oral language to advance academic language literacy for secondary learners. All registrants who attend the live event will be entered to win our new 95 Adolescent Word Study Solution, opening the door to academic language and cross-curricular success.
