TRL-DC is thrilled to announce a year-long partnership with Planet Word. Planet Word is an immersive language experience located at the historic Franklin School in Washington, D.C. Ideal for all ages, Planet Word is a voice-activated museum (the world’s first!), and the interactive galleries and exhibits bring words and language to life in all sorts of fun ways. If you haven’t yet visited Planet Word, you are in for a special treat. TRL-DC’s events will be hosted at Planet Word this year.

Join us in an exploration of
Language, Language Variation, and Literacy
this year as we explore what it means to be literate in one or more written languages and how that literacy interacts with spoken languages.

This year’s events will build on our previous years’ knowledge-building around phonemic proficiency and decoding as the route to automaticity.
