The Knowledge Acquisition Framework with Dr. Kay Wijekumar

# data[].attributes.body
We are bringing Dr. Kay Wijekumar to Michigan to share the KAT (Knowledge Acquisition and Transformation) Framework—and if you haven’t seen her results yet, prepare to be blown away.

Dr. K’s research doesn't just talk about "improving comprehension"—it provides a systematic, evidence-based blueprint for how the brain organizes information. Her work has shown that when students master Text Structures, they don't just read—they understand, retain, and transform knowledge.

Why this is a MUST-ATTEND:

*Stop the "Slump": Finally, a proven way to help students transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn."

*The Logic of Literacy: Learn how to move students past simple recall into high-level summarization and critical thinking.

*Incredible Results: Dr. K’s research is backed by some of the most rigorous studies in the field, showing massive gains in student performance.
