There’s a common myth in education that Direct Instruction only works for foundational skills and can’t build deeper comprehension.

This free webinar with Dr. Kurt Engelmann, President of the National Institute for Direct Instruction (NIFDI), will challenge that idea.

In this 90-minute session, you’ll learn how explicit language instruction builds the conceptual knowledge students need for strong reading comprehension, with real examples from Reading Mastery Signature Edition.

If you care about instructional design, sequencing skills for success, and helping students reach higher-level comprehension, this is a session you won’t want to miss.

📅 Thursday, March 26

⌚ 3 PM PT

🎟 Free to attend

The basis for effective teaching

03/12/2026

If you’re a teacher, literacy specialist, or just someone who loves learning about what actually works in education, this is worth checking out.

I’ve been enjoying Evidence Snacks by Peps McCrea — short, research-based insights you can read in about 5 minutes. It’s a great way to stay current on evidence-informed teaching without having to dig through dense research papers.

The ideas are practical, concise, and easy to apply in classrooms, interventions, or literacy work.

Highly recommend for anyone who cares about effective teaching and improving outcomes for students.
