The Reviewing Your Literacy Curriculum: Evaluating Alignment with the Science of Reading training was developed to provide participants with essential information necessary for preparing for and conducting a review of their district's current literacy curriculum. A school's core literacy curriculum serves as a critical foundation for all levels of reading instruction including for those students receiving supplemental support, intervention, or special education services. It is equally important for literacy curriculum to reflect the evidence-based content and instructional methods found in reading science as well as be free of practices that scientific research has shown to be ineffective or detrimental to learning. Participants will examine the purpose of regularly evaluating their literacy curriculum, review the key elements of the Science of Reading, and learn how to develop a curriculum review team. The training will also teach participants how to use the Reading League's Curriculum Evaluation Guidelines and Reviewer Workbook to evaluate their current curriculum for instructional gaps that should be corrected to provide students with highly effective and evidence-based literacy instruction. Finally, the training will address how participants can plan to address instructional gaps through implementing necessary initiatives and practices.
