In this Webinar

The brain seeks patterns, and patterning is the basis for literacy. Dr. Judy Willis offers strategies for building vocabulary, fluency, and reading comprehension that correlate with neuroscience research. You'll find new practices—and tweak existing ones—that use patterning and pleasure to build literacy skills, comprehension, and memory to help students read with more enjoyment and success.

About the presenter

Dr. Judy Willis is a leading authority in the neuroscience of learning, combining her 15 years as a practicing neurologist with 10 subsequent years as a classroom teacher.

Willis participates as an adjunct professor at Williams College. She also travels nationally and internationally to give presentations and workshops and consult about learning and the brain.
