Are your students decoding words, but not fully understanding them? What helps them turn strings of words into meaning before they even reach the end of a sentence?
Research points to a critical piece: syntax, how words work together to build meaning in real time. While cognitive science has mapped this process in detail, these insights have yet to fully shape classroom practice.
In this session, psycholinguist and language research scientist Dr. Julie Van Dyke connects research to instruction. Explore why sentence structure is essential to comprehension, and how strengthening syntactic awareness can elevate reading outcomes. Whether you teach K–12 or prepare educators, you’ll leave with a strong understanding of ways to weave together the strands of the Reading Rope and deepen understanding for all students.
This program is presented in partnership with The Reading League-DC. For questions or concerns regarding accessibility needs, please contact programs@planetwordmuseum.org.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/144155/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets &amp;&nbsp;More Info</a>

Through Buddha’s timeless wisdom, we can learn to navigate grief with clarity and compassion. These teachings help us heal our hearts, transform our pain into wisdom, and discover a renewed sense of purpose and peace.
Join us for this special talk to explore practical methods for working with loss, letting go, and opening to a happier, more meaningful life.Includes a talk, guided meditation, and Q&amp;A.

Arlington Language School Marks 40th Anniversary

ICA Language Services

ICA Language Services (ICA), a family-owned, woman-led small business based in Arlington, is celebrating its 40th anniversary, marking decades of supporting the U.S. military and diplomatic community through language training and testing. Founded in April 1986 as Inlingua Foreign Language Center, a 6-classroom language school, ICA expanded under the leadership of Deidre Doyle, an entrepreneur with a background in organizational management who joined the company the same year. As a military spouse, she had developed a deep understanding of military organizations and culture, helping shape ICA into a trusted provider of language training and testing for military professionals. Doyle became a partner in 1993 and sole owner in 2009, when she changed the name to ICA Language Services. Today, ICA operates a 60+ classroom schoolhouse in Rosslyn and has delivered nearly five million hours of language instruction and more than 30,000 language assessments across 120+ languages. ICA also provides training on military bases throughout the US and abroad. The company is now led by President and CEO Lexie Casey, Doyle’s daughter, who joined ICA in 2009 after a decade in government contracting. Casey became a partner in 2014 and assumed day-to-day leadership in 2015, when Doyle transitioned to Chair of the Board. ICA has employed more than 1,300 individuals from 131 countries, often providing a first job in the United States for language professionals. Certified by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia, ICA provides proficiency- and performance-based language training and testing services supporting diplomacy, security, and global engagement.
