Pre-conference full day workshop: Teaching Reading Across the Day

This full-day, interactive, workshop led by author Jennifer Serravallo is based on her latest release with Corwin Books: Teaching Reading Across the Day. In this workshop, she’ll teach nine effective, predictable, research-based lesson structures participants can use whether teaching English language arts, science, or social studies in grades K-8. Through explanation, activities, and videos, attendees will learn the pacing and structures of each lesson type, as well as high-leverage, research-based practices that are important across all lesson types, such as building vocabulary and knowledge, incorporating responsiveness, making appropriate text choices, and keeping students highly engaged. Throughout, Jen will connect to the science of teaching reading–sharing key research studies and replicated findings–and also speaking to the art of teaching–honoring teachers’ craft and decision-making.

During this workshop, we are learning how to bring effective literacy practices into all content areas, how to build knowledge and content across the day, and how to use high-leverage lesson structures to maximize effectiveness and engagement.
