In this third webinar in the IDA-GA/TRL-GA 2026 Spotlight on Structured Literacy series, Dr. Charles Haynes presents how writing and comprehension are interconnected.
Description: Writing and comprehension are deeply interconnected processes that can be strengthened through systematic instruction at the word, sentence, micro-discourse, and text levels. This session provides teachers and specialists with practical, hands-on strategies to support oral and written language across these levels. After a brief overview of key research and theory, the focus shifts quickly to ready-to-use classroom, small-group, and one-on-one techniques. Participants will also receive handouts, including teacher-friendly articles authored by Dr. Haynes.
