Join us for the Back to School SOR Summit, to learn from 12 literacy experts about implementing the Science of Reading
Hi, I’m Delilah Orpi!
I am a literacy specialist, homeschooling mom, and former teacher. During my time as a classroom educator, I was trained in Orton-Gillingham, Lindamood-Bell, and other dyslexia strategies. Since then, I have continued to learn more about structured literacy and aim to help parents and educators create effective literacy lessons by providing high-quality resources based on the science of reading.
Grab your ticket and join me and 12 literacy experts for a one-of-a-kind event that will help you incorporate more effective reading activities and teaching strategies into your existing literacy block.
I can’t wait to see you there!
📆 WHEN AND WHERE
Back to School SOR Summit will run from July 29th through 31st, with a variety of presentations to choose from each day. This event is entirely virtual, so you’ll be able to attend from anywhere in the world with internet access.

You don’t need another summit telling you about guided reading and how to improve reading comprehension so your students’ test scores improve.
Good news! That is NOT what you’re going to find at this event.
Back to School SOR Summit was specifically created for elementary reading teachers like you, who are interested in learning more about the science of reading.
Instead of covering how to improve reading comprehension using leveled readers and guided groups, this summit is about helping you add science of reading elements to your lessons NOW.
Check out the incredible lineup of literacy experts you’ll learn from at the Back to School SOR Summit!

It’s time to stop hoarding resources and finally align your lessons to the science of reading.
The Back to School SOR Summit is all about easily incorporating structured literacy into your existing literacy lessons. There are lots of summits and other resources out there about teaching reading, but this summit will specifically cover effective instruction based on the science of reading.
We’ll cover how to start the year off right with SOR aligned resources and strategies for your classroom.
If you’re curious about the science of reading, this event is for you! We’ll be specifically talking to elementary reading teachers and focusing on aligning your lessons to the science of reading, but anyone else who wants to get started with structured literacy is welcome to join us.
The main portion of the summit runs from July 29 – July 31, with pre-party sessions happening the week of July 25th. You’ll also be able to join our private Facebook community as soon as you register, so you can join in on the fun right away!
While most of the presentations for the summit are pre-recorded, there are some live elements, and the pre-recorded presentations are only available for 24 hours with your free ticket. So we encourage you to attend live if you can! We would love for you to set aside some time during the summit week to attend the live sessions, watch the pre-recorded presentations, and participate with others who are learning about the science of reading.
However, if you’re not able to attend all of the sessions live, go ahead and grab your free ticket, and you’ll have the opportunity to upgrade to the ALL-ACCESS PASS for extended access.
Your free ticket includes 24 hour access to each of the presentations. If you need more time, you can always upgrade your ticket to the ALL-ACCESS PASS after registering, which will give you extended access to the presentations along with premium bonuses from our speakers and more!
To avoid tech glitches, give you the best possible experience, and keep things easy for the speakers, the presentations are pre-recorded and will be released at a scheduled time during the summit. However, the speakers will be hanging out in our private Facebook group with dedicated threads where you can connect with them and ask your questions! There will also be opportunities to join us for bonus live events throughout the week.
No. When you register, you’ll be added to the Thrive Literacy Corner email list so we can send you updates for the event and links to each day’s presentations. After the summit is over, you’ll continue to hear from us, but you can unsubscribe at any time.
Each of the speakers will have free resources available that you can access by providing an email address, but the speakers will not get your email address unless you choose to give it to them specifically. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don’t have to worry about getting added to [##] email lists that you’re not interested in.
You can learn more in our Privacy Policy.
Yes. All presentations have closed captioning, and notes are also available for each presentation with our upgrade options that you’ll see after registering for the event.
