Abstract: Despite reading being an essential part of education, many teachers aren’t given adequate training to best support their students’ learning. This professional project addresses the lack of teacher training around foundational reading instruction through the creation of a professional development. This professional development is designed to provide an overview of the research around reading instruction as well as strategies to support classroom implementation to help debunk reading misinformation. This project helps to bridge the gaps in student reading knowledge by supporting teachers in their classroom instruction.
