Explicit Instruction for Literacy Success
A Two-Day Workshop with Dr. Anita Archer
Join nationally recognized author and consultant Dr. Anita Archer for an intensive, practical exploration of how explicit instruction drives durable literacy outcomes. Grounded in the science of how students learn to read and write, this workshop moves beyond theory into the specific, observable teaching moves that make instruction clear, engaging, and effective for every learner.
Over two days, participants will examine the essential elements of explicit instruction, including skillful modeling, guided and supported practice, high rates of student response, and precise feedback, and see how each applies directly to literacy instruction across foundational skills, vocabulary, and comprehension. Dr. Archer will demonstrate these practices live, unpack the reasoning behind them, and give participants the tools to recognize, coach, and sustain them long after the workshop ends.
