Discover the positive outcomes of implementing the Science of Reading interventions, as we hear from the Fort Vermilion School Division (FVSD). Learn how the FVSD implemented structured literacy supports with interventions to move their system forward, while guiding students along in their Reading and Writing journey over a 6-year period. FVSD experienced huge growth in literacy skills among students throughout this period, and despite Covid, still showed improved results. Join us in learning new strategies to bring to your school or district that can make a positive difference.
