For years, the phrase “rich and varied practice” has been used in reading instruction—but often without a clear definition. Explicit, direct instruction is a cornerstone of the Science of Reading, but it is in “rich and varied practice” that students consolidate and generalize their learning so that they can become fluent readers. A systematic approach to rich and varied practice is even more critical to our struggling readers, especially those in upper elementary and middle school. Teachers have long asked: What exactly does “rich and varied” practice mean? How do I implement this to help my students build automaticity and fluency? In this edWebinar, we’ll explore over 60 years of research that sheds light on this important concept. You’ll see how scholars and educators have created and continue to use practical frameworks that explain why this kind of practice works and how to use it effectively in the classroom. Most importantly, you’ll walk away with classroom strategies and tools—based on the latest work from researchers and developers. This edWebinar will be of interest to elementary and middle school teachers, school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders.
