Webinar Overview:
Discover how targeted reading practice, combined with teacher-directed interventions like SPIRE, can advance growth for striving readers. This webinar will highlight two essential types of practice: reinforcing practice that helps solidify specific skills as they are taught, and deliberate practice with complex texts, guided by educators or tutors.
During the webinar, we will spotlight EPS Reading Assistant, an AI-powered tool that supports oral reading practice with immediate corrective feedback, giving students the reading practice they need while providing teachers with actionable insights for tailored instruction.
