Live Webinars
ReadTheory regularly hosts free, 30-minute live webinars covering topics like getting started with the platform, using new features, benchmarking students, supporting ESL learners, supporting special education students, and building effective reading routines.
New sessions are added on a rolling basis, so the schedule and topics change frequently.
If you are not able to attend a live session, you can still sign up for it, and receive a recording of the webinar!

Training on Demand
Can't make a live session? Our on-demand training library covers many of the same topics as our live webinars, like getting started, using progress reports, and test prep, and can be watched anytime, at your own pace.
Run Your Own PD Session
If you'd rather lead a PD session for your own team, ReadTheory offers a free PD Kit with everything you need to run your own training.
Custom PD for Your School (School Plans Only)
Schools and districts on a school plan can request custom, ReadTheory-led PD sessions tailored to their goals, schedule, and students. This is offered at an additional cost beyond your school plan subscription.
