• Receive a thorough introduction to the Fountas & Pinnell Leveled Literacy Invention System and its components, including the principles on which it is based

• Deepen their understanding of many research-based ways to help struggling readers.
• The materials you need to participate in the institute will be included in the cost of your tuition.
