We are dedicated to providing teachers with access to information about effective instructional practices. Students in the EdD in Educational Policy and Leadership whose concentration is early literacy intervention created these videos to model instructional practices aligned to the science of reading research base. In these vidoes, our students model the practices with their own students and describe how and when to use the strategy.
