“Unpacking Vermont’s New Literacy Law,
Act 139,
to Teach All Students to Read"
Workshop
| |
|
|
|
FREE Professional Development
20 August 2024
3:00pm - 4:00pm
Virtual via Zoom
With the May 2024 passage of Act 139, an act relating to supporting Vermont’s young readers through evidence-based literacy instruction, educators in both public and independent schools eligible for public tuition are required to conduct reading screening and provide evidence-based classroom instruction, intervention, and services in the five components of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The structured-literacy framework, dyslexia screening, parental notification, and state reporting are among the legislative provisions that Dr. Dorfman will unpack for Vermonters in this presentation. Ms. Lovejoy will bridge the law to the real-life experiences of students, parents/caregivers, and their advocates with the goal of improved literacy proficiency.
