Presenter:  Dr. Molly Ness

Description:  
The adult reader instantly recognizes 50,000 words. How did they get there? Through orthographic mapping - a process in which a word’s meaning,
appearance, and sound structure become glued together for instant recognition. In this session, Dr. Ness, author of the 2025 Scholastic book on orthographic mapping, does the following: 
● Explain why words must be mapped, not memorized
● Showcase the theory and research behind orthographic mapping
● Give instructional routines to build readers’ sight word identification

Walk away with evidence-based strategies you can use right away in your classroom.
