    by | December 12, 2024

    Tuesday, January 14, 2025 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm EST

    Presented by Dr. Elfrieda “Freddy” Hiebert, President and CEO, TextProject

    How can artificial intelligence help improve vocabulary instruction? AI is a hot topic in education, but this technology is so new that best practices for the classroom are still being established.

    Join Dr. Elfrieda “Freddy” H. Hiebert, President and CEO of the non-profit organization TextProject, which was founded to provide resources to support higher reading levels, as she explores the opportunities to use AI to help strengthen vocabulary instruction and enhance students’ literacy skills. During this edWebinar, Dr. Hiebert will explore how to use AI tools to:

    • Analyze language data and identify word features affecting student learning, such as morphology, exposure age, abstraction, and frequency
    • Select target words and reading materials more efficiently
    • Move beyond traditional definition-based methods and support teaching vocabulary through strategically chosen words and texts

    Leveraging AI-generated insights has the potential to enhance vocabulary acquisition across all grades and subjects, revolutionizing word learning in education!

    All educators with an interest in literacy—especially K-12 classroom teachers, reading coaches, literacy leaders, instructional leaders, special educators, and curriculum directors—are encouraged to attend this edWebinar. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.

    This edWebinar is part of the Science of Reading in Action: What’s New and What’s Next series. To explore other sessions in this series, click here.
