Charley and Sue had a wonderful time this July presenting the latest paper from the WISE Project: “Structured Literacy for Writing in Middle School: Longitudinal Outcomes from a Research–Practice Partnership”. This was shared at the Society for Scientific Study of Reading (SSSR) International Conference in Rotterdam. The paper is currently under review for publication, so hopefully we will have more news to share soon!
