The 2024 Fox Reading Conference will explore the protective and risk factors associated with language variations. This theme continues our longstanding commitment to support educators in leveraging their students’ diverse strengths and addressing their weaknesses to elevate learning. Nationally recognized language and literacy experts will be featured as they share their expertise and unique perspectives on the intersection of bidialectalism, multilingualism, developmental language disorder (DLD), and dyslexia. They will explore the unique nature of each as well as their intersections. We invite you to join us in-person on campus or online virtually for this free conference.
