Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning

Book discussion

Make it Stick: The Science of Successful Learning by Peter C. Brown, Henry L. Roediger III, and Mark A. McDaniel

Kimberly Downey presented a summary of how memory is encoded, consolidated, and later retrieved leading to a better understanding of how we learn. This catalyzed an active discussion about how these concepts apply to the Barton System and to speech-to-print approaches such as Reading Simplified.

Participation in the live discussion, access to the recording, and accompanying summary are exclusive to paid RWSR forum members.

RWSR tutor community

The RWSR Professional Development Forum is a private, members-only space for dyslexia tutors committed to ongoing learning. Instead of being buried in social media feeds, every discussion is organized by topic and easy to return to anytime.

Our members are tutors who have experience with more than one program and want to deepen their practice by exploring issues across pedagogies. This kind of open, cross-program conversation is rare — social media tends to keep tutors siloed, but here you’ll find colleagues who are curious, critical, and committed to ongoing growth.

Membership includes:

  • Weekly Office Hours — live Zoom sessions where experienced tutors troubleshoot challenges together.
  • Quarterly Book Clubs — recorded discussions that go deep into research and practice.
  • Ongoing Peer Support — a curated space to share strategies, ask questions, and keep learning.
