What does executive function have to do with reading comprehension? More than most reading programs account for.

In this live Q&A, I’m joined by Dr. Kelly Cartwright — researcher, author, and co-creator of the Active View of Reading — for a conversation about what the current Science of Reading debate often overlooks: why some students struggle to comprehend even with effective instruction, and the role cognitive flexibility, working memory, and self-regulation play in helping kids become not just skilled readers, but engaged ones.

​Bring your questions about readers who don’t fit the script. This is a small-group conversation.
