Making the Shift to a Speech to Print Intervention Program: Sounds-Write in Action
A Talk by Lindsay Springer and Rachel Harris
About this Talk
Lindsay Springer and Rachel Harris, two educators from the Paul Pena Downtown Jewish Day School in Toronto, Canada discuss the implementation of Sounds-Write as an intervention for at-risk students in grades one and two.
They also discuss their research findings, which show that early intervention in grades one and two is more effective in closing the learning gap than intervention starting in later grades.
They also mention the Right to Read inquiry report in Ontario, which calls for changes to the education system to remove barriers for at-risk students and implement a science-based approach to literacy instruction.
