    98. Introduction to Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) Presented by Kristina Seeley

    Program: Professional Development Program

    Dates: 12/8/2025 to 3/2/2026

    Starting Soon
    Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) is a rigorous, small group, supplementary, literacy intervention designed for students who find reading and writing difficult and need intensive teaching to achieve grade-level proficiency. LLI Primary Systems deliver the engaging, efficient, and effective intervention that can give students the boost they need to read at the same level as their peers in as little as 18-24 weeks. The intervention should take place consistently in suggested small groups in addition to classroom literacy instruction to see maximum results. In this workshop, participants will receive three-days of intensive training (two days of start-up training and one follow-up day) on the LLI systems and will learn specific skills and strategies to address the needs of readers who are not yet at grade -level proficiency. In addition to an overview of the components and implementation of LLI Second-Edition systems, professional development for these systems delve into the routines needed for proficiency in reading. Teachers will explore the rich opportunities in the LLI Systems for Phonics, Fluency, Comprehension and Writing About Reading. This three-day training includes: An introduction to the LLI systems and what research has shown to be effective instruction for readers that need more support. Clear rationales for the instructional procedures in the LLI systems-systematic phonics instruction, fluency, comprehension, vocabulary development, and writing about reading-and how they all contribute to the reader's development of an effective processing system. Opportunities to observe, discuss, and practice using the lesson frameworks, instructional procedures, and resources in the LLI systems. A focus on supporting students to develop strategic actions for processing text using a gradient of high quality fiction and nonfiction texts, written explicitly for the LLI systems. Specific instruction on the assessment and record keeping in the LLI systems that is crucial to inform teaching decisions.

    99. Word-Level Reading Problems: Implications for Instruction and Intervention Presented by Dr. David Kilpatrick, National Presenter

    Program: Professional Development Program

    Audience: K-12 Administrators, Teachers, Reading Specialists, Instructional Coaches, Psychologists,Intervention Specialists

    Dates: 12/8/2025

    Starting Soon
    Drawing on decades of research in reading development and cognitive psychology, David Kilpatrick, Ph.D. will explore how we can identify reading difficulties, interpret assessment data meaningfully, and design interventions that actually work-especially for struggling readers. Specifically, this session will focus on how children learn to read words and why some children struggle. Understanding what research has found about the nature of word-level reading development and word-level reading problems will guide assessment, instruction, and intervention. Educators will walk away with a deeper understanding of orthographic mapping, phonemic proficiency, and the critical role of assessment in accelerating student growth. Whether you're a classroom teacher, literacy coach, administrator, or specialist, this session will sharpen your instructional lens and provide actionable tools to help all students become confident, capable readers. Learning Targets:

    • Participants will understand the component cognitive andlinguistic skills needed for word level reading.

    • Participants will understand the source(s) of difficulties inword-level reading, including dyslexia.

    • Participants will become aware of compensatingstudents, who display "average” performance but requireextraordinary effort to do so.

    • Participants will learn what approaches are useful inaddressing word-level reading difficulties
