The Science of Secondary Reading™: Getting Teens to Read, Think, and Engage *IN PERSON* presented by The Living Literacy Network – 8:30-2:30pm

The Science of Reading (SOR) movement has transformed early literacy but for educators in grades 6-12, a critical question remains: Why do students still struggle to read and make sense of texts across the disciplines? Adolescent literacy demands a more dynamic architecture. While traditional SOR focuses on word recognition and language comprehension alone, the Science of Secondary Reading (SOSR) requires that students evolve from being passive receivers of information to readers who construct meaning critically. The Active View of Reading framework by Nell Duke and Kelly Cartwright accounts for the “hidden” drivers of adolescent success: motivation and engagement, executive function, and metacognition, allowing students to tackle more complex texts as advanced readers and writers. Furthermore, this framework also takes into consideration text type, task, and sociocultural context which takes into considerationas well as the role of Disciplinary Literacy (reading and writing like experts in a field) and recognizes the importance of culturally responsive and relevant instruction. This SOSR workshop is specifically designed for middle and high school teachers, instructional coaches, and leaders across disciplines; we’ve chosen the aspects of the Active View of Reading, Disciplinary Literacy, and Critical Literacy that connect most to teen reading struggles, the development of the teenage brain, and teachers’ issues with time, topic coverage, task sophistication and the added pressure of high-stakes tests.
