On-Demand Professional Learning Training for PreK – 5

Merging the Science of Reading with the Science of Learning

 

Initial Full Day (5.5 hours) ★ Most Comprehensive

Perfect for district-wide rollouts, PLC groups, or individual teacher access.

  • Cost$5,000 per school or district

  • Includes unlimited staff access for 30 days (activation is flexible)

  • Cost may be shared across multiple schools (separate invoicing available)

  • Target grades are PreK-3rd; however, it is recommended that 4th/5th grade teachers participate as well, given the number of students lacking proficiency due to developmental readiness in K-2. The same “backdoor” strategies can be used at upper levels to plug holes fast for struggling readers without impeding the momentum of on-grade level instruction.
