Few educators have shaped classroom instruction as profoundly as Anita Archer.

This fall, you'll have the opportunity to learn directly from Anita Archer and Amanda VanDerHeyden at the 10th Annual Conference of The Reading League during their session: "Delivery of Explicit Instruction: High-Leverage Practices that Promote Engagement and Learning."

The science of reading helps us understand what to teach. Explicit instruction helps us understand how to teach it.

In this session, you'll explore instructional practices that increase student engagement and support stronger learning outcomes, including how to:

🔹 Request frequent student responses
🔹 Monitor student understanding throughout a lesson
🔹 Provide effective affirmative and corrective feedback
🔹 Maintain an appropriate lesson pace

Whether you're new to explicit instruction or looking to strengthen your practice, you'll leave with strategies you can apply in your classroom right away.

Don't miss the opportunity to learn from two of the field's leading voices alongside thousands of educators committed to improving literacy outcomes.

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a celebration of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equity.

As literacy educators, we recognize that access to reading is deeply connected to opportunity, empowerment, and full participation in our communities. We remain committed to advancing evidence-aligned literacy instruction so that every child has the opportunity to thrive.

The Reading League Maryland wishes you a meaningful Juneteenth as we reflect on our shared history and continue working toward a more just world.

Teachers, we know how hard you work for your students:

The many hats you wear, the positive relationships you nurture, the constant decision-making you do, the ongoing learning you embrace, the time you have invested into making spaces and lessons reflective of your students’ needs and interests.

We appreciate you always!
Thank you, teachers!
