Belonging starts with being seen and supported! ♿

As National Accessibility Week continues, we're sharing books for younger readers alongside titles for middle grade and high school students. These stories reflect disability as part of everyday life and centre adaptation in ways that feel relatable.

Want to grow readers who do more than just sound out words? 📖

This asynchronous online course shows how vocabulary and morphology instruction can bridge decoding and comprehension—helping K–Grade 6 students become strategic, confident readers.

Part of the Evidence-Based Practices in Early Literacy series, the course explores research-backed strategies for word study that support multisyllabic decoding, spelling, and knowledge building. It also highlights how morphology instruction can support students learning English as an additional language.

📍 Location: Online
🗓 Dates: Available until August 30, 2026
🕒 Time: Asynchronous – learn when it works for you

Build your practice, expand your students’ word banks, and deepen comprehension—all on your schedule.
