Teach Like a Champion Live in Bangkok: The Science of Reading in Action

Join Doug Lemov for an exclusive training event in Bangkok. This one-day professional learning experience offers educators the opportunity to learn directly from one of the world’s most influential voices in teaching and learning. Drawing on the latest research from cognitive science and the principles explored in The Teach Like a Champion Guide to the Science of Reading, this highly practical workshop will unpack how students become powerful readers after phonics, and what great literacy instruction looks like from primary through to secondary education and beyond. Throughout the day, Doug will translate research into clear, actionable classroom techniques. Using video from outstanding classrooms, curriculum examples and guided practice, participants will explore how to strengthen reading comprehension, build knowledge, and develop students who read with confidence, fluency, and purpose. What you’ll explore This workshop focuses particularly on the language comprehension strand of Scarborough’s Reading Rope, making it ideal for educators working with Grade 2 and above across English and other subject areas. Key themes include: The critical role of background knowledge in reading comprehensionThe critical and overlooked challenge of disfluencyStrategies for building and sustaining student attentionCreating strong communities of readers through shared readingUsing purposeful writing to deepen understanding of textsDeveloping vocabulary and knowledge systematicallyApproaches to text complexity and close reading across subjectsThe research supporting the reading of whole books in English classrooms.Doug will also share seven key principles for developing strong readers “post-phonics”, the stage when students have mastered letter–sound correspondence but must now learn how to read increasingly complex texts throughout their academic journey. A practical, high-impact learning experience Participants will: Practise instructional techniques that strengthen literacy teachingExplore lesson examples and curriculum materials developed by Doug and his teamWatch and analyse video from top classroomsDevelop strategies that can be applied across all subject areasLeave with resources and materials to use immediately in their schoolsIn case you haven't read Doug's new book here's what Daniel Willingham has to say about it: “I love this book. Every teacher who asks their students to read will find it becomes the most worn on their shelf; it’s a wellspring of clear explanation of the science of reading, and practical strategies for helping students become successful readers.” And here's what a school head in Washington, D.C. had to say: "This book is simply PHENOMENAL to guide an adolescent literacy program. The text features an ideal mix of research and practical insights that I can implement tomorrow in our classrooms."
