In order to effectively support their teachers, administrators need to have a basic understanding of structured literacy and the research related to the Science of Reading. In an effort to help provide this information, Literacy How and The Southport CoLAB are partnering on a panel discussion to talk about the importance of knowing about and understanding the research around literacy. We believe that having this knowledge can help administrators make informed decisions on curriculum, provide helpful feedback when observing their teachers’ instruction, and improve the reading scores of their students.
This panel discussion is designed for district and school-based administrators, literacy specialists and reading coaches, as well as board of education members and others interested in learning why administrators need to know about evidence-based literacy instruction.

Literacy How
In July 2009, Margie Gillis, Ed.D. founded Literacy How to bring a decade of knowledge-to-practice research to the classroom. Our vision is to close the achievement gap and raise reading achievement for all students. We transform reading instruction by empowering teachers to ensure that every child learns to read by third grade. We teach educators in all grades to meet struggling readers where they are, building their foundation for a successful future. Our model is research-based and our approach is values-driven. We are guided by our core values: passion, lifelong learning, professionalism, collaboration, empowerment, and accountability.
