She will discuss Brennen's commitment to evidence-based literacy practices through Project Read. Starting with systematic phonics, they expanded to include the explicit writing program "Framing Your Thoughts." In the last two years, 85% of teachers were trained in IMSE's Orton Gillingham curricula. Simultaneously, they underwent LETRS training, leading to rich data-driven discussions and progress monitoring. Upper grades focus on morphology, with vertical articulation meetings to refine the scope and sequence. Brennen's dedication to the Science of Reading and professional development has been key to their success in improving student outcomes. #trlsc #sor #scienceofreading #literacy
