- **Event Name**: April Book Study: The Science of Reading in Action
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 01 Apr, 2026 at 05:00 am (+00:00)
- **Event Description**: Join MSTA for our April book study: The Science of Reading in Action: Brain-Friendly Strategies Every Teacher Needs to Know by Malia Hollowell.

This book is more than a resource—it's a movement to transform reading instruction. With 67% of kids in the U.S. struggling to read, we need change. The Science of Reading in Action tackles the top barriers: lack of research-based training, practical tools, and support.

Join MSTA member service coordinator Maddy Johnson as she facilitates this study to learn about:
- What research really says about how kids learn to read (Hint: social media doesn't always get it right!)
- Quickly identifying and overcoming the biggest challenges for struggling readers
- Ready-to-use activities and strategies that make brain-friendly reading instruction a breeze
- Simple techniques that help students memorize words 10x faster than flashcards

Participants are responsible for obtaining their copy of this month's text before the beginning of the book study.

Participants are required to participate in Zoom meetings to provide an opportunity to network with other participants over the concepts shared. The time of the Zoom meeting will be determined by the facilitator with book study participants.

At the end of the month, PD certificates will be generated for participants who completed all book study requirements. PD certificates will be emailed to participants.

The Learning Management System, Teachable, is used to house discussion board conversations and group materials. Guiding questions and tasks are posted in the Teachable course. These questions allow participants to share and reflect on the topics and ideas presented in the reading. Teachable courses are by design asynchronous.
