The most powerful literacy intervention isn’t just teaching kids to read words on a page. It’s literally rewiring the voice in their heads.
Join Ignite Reading, Everyone Wins DC, and the Washington Literacy Center for a panel that reveals how early literacy forms a foundation for positive self-talk that will carry students through challenges they face over a lifetime.
You’ll hear:
Real stories of how one-on-one reading relationships transform how kids talk to themselves about their capabilities
How literacy interventions can specifically build agency (I can succeed) and pathways for thinking (I know how to get there) to help your students create resilient, positive self-talk patterns.
You'll learn how reading fluency directly correlates with the development of that critical inner voice that either whispers "I’ve got this!" or "I'm not smart enough."
Education leaders will leave this panel ready to build literacy supports for their students that help them develop strong reading skills and become their own best advocate and problem-solver for life.
