ALL IN and Tumbleweed Publishing are teaming up to bring you a FREE literacy webinar!
Decoding Is Just the Beginning: Building Language, Knowledge, and Comprehension for Striving Readers
December 15, 2026 at 12:00 pm EST
Students may accurately decode the words on a page and still struggle to understand what they read. In this interactive webinar, participants will explore how decoding and fluency work alongside vocabulary, morphology, syntax, background knowledge, and comprehension to support skilled reading. Participants will examine the needs of striving readers, analyze an age-respectful text through multiple instructional lenses, and apply a practical planning framework for identifying student needs, text demands, and high-impact instructional opportunities. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies for strengthening foundational skills while intentionally building the language, knowledge, and comprehension students need to engage successfully with increasingly complex text.
