Literacy Can't Wait: Strong Foundations. Stronger Futures.

Whether your focus is building a strong core in the elementary grades or helping older students overcome unfinished foundational skills, choose the conversation most relevant to your work—or stay for both.

For more than 40 years, Reading Horizons has built deep expertise in foundational literacy. Today, that expertise extends across core literacy instruction—connecting foundational skills with reading, writing, language, and comprehension to support learners at every stage.

Explore research-backed approaches and practical solutions for strengthening core instruction in the elementary grades and accelerating foundational skill development for older learners. Choose the conversation most relevant to your work—or stay for both sessions.

This event is designed for educators and leaders committed to improving literacy outcomes, including:

• Superintendents and district leaders
• Principals and school administrators
• Curriculum and instruction leaders
• Literacy specialists and coaches
• Interventionists and MTSS leaders
• Elementary and secondary teachers
