8-27-2025 How to Integrate Lively Letters with Other Reading Programs to Ensure Success for More Students Live & Recorded Webinar 7-9 PM EST
Presenter: Marianne Nice, MS, CCC-SLP
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27, 2025 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM EST
Description:
Chances are, your school or clinic has already taken important steps toward implementing science-based reading instruction, adopting a core or supplemental program that targets key reading skills such as phonemic awareness and phonics. We all know, though, that ONE size does not fit all. Even with these tools in place, many educators find themselves wondering: Why are some students still struggling to make progress? You may have heard about or even witnessed the profound benefits of using Lively Letters with struggling students because of its speech-to-print aspect, memory tricks, imagery, and evidence-based motivating techniques. If you'd like to know how you can use it flexibly with your other program, this webinar is for you.
The presenter, Marianne Nice, MS, CCC-SLP, who is Reading with TLC's Lead National Trainer, is trained and experienced in using a number of reading programs. For years, she's been in the educational trenches coaching educators on how to utilize and combine evidence-based approaches, when needed, to accelerate reading gains. She will be offering clear, practical strategies that many educators are using to successfully align Lively Letters with their current core or supplemental reading programs for better results. The best part? You don’t need to replace your existing curriculum. Instead, you’ll learn how to use Lively Letters in a flexible and complementary way, enhancing the instruction you’re already providing.
You’ll discover how to:
• Adjust the Lively Letters scope and sequence to match that of your curriculum while allowing you to make better use of the word lists, routines, and materials from your existing core program
• Add the Lively Letters letter pictures, letter sound introduction stories, songs, and oral prompts to support your current letter sound strategies
• Implement the Lively Letters proven phonemic awareness and phonetic reading / spelling techniques with your existing materials
• Incorporate the Lively Letters characters easily and flexibly into your current handwriting instruction program
• Combine the Lively Letters mnemonic multisyllable and consonant blend word techniques with ones currently being used
Whether you're working in a classroom or a clinical setting, this session will give you concrete tools, fresh ideas, and the confidence to better support all learners—especially those who benefit from more multisensory, engaging, and individualized instruction.
