Tell Me More About Decodable Texts


Welcome to the February edition of the digital MESD Early Literacy Network!


This digital MESD Early Literacy Network will be delivered to your inbox during the second week of every month. It contains a brief video PD on a hot Science of Reading (SoR) topic, SoR resources, along with local updates and professional opportunities. The goal of this digital network is to help you stay up to date on the Science of Reading without needing to add another meeting to your calendar. Archived newsletters will soon be found on the MESD Early Literacy Webpage.
