Foundational and Early Childhood Literacy (continued)
Supporting Early Literacy Development
Are you looking to build continuity from PreK to kindergarten to first grade? In this session you’ll discover creative ways to use a lesson plan for small groups as a bridge to guided reading for your youngest learners. We’ll explore how students can work with names, letters, sounds, books, and writing to build their early literacy skills. Learning outcomes: • Facilitate activities that address each area of the lesson plan • Use early literacy assessment data to evaluate the skills addressed in each lesson • Create and deliver a lesson

Comprehension and Read-Alouds
For very young readers, reading comprehension and listening comprehension are synonymous, and that’s why prekindergarten teachers rely on read-alouds to prepare students to understand the texts they’ll read. In this session we’ll delve into the key elements of read-alouds and explore strategies to build comprehension in whole-group and small-group settings. Learning outcomes: • Describe the criteria of an effective read-aloud • Write questions that support a “text talk” classroom • Plan and deliver a read-aloud lesson that strengthens comprehension and builds vocabulary • Conduct whole-group and small-group read-alouds
Recommended for: PreK–K teachers, paraprofessionals, and instructional coaches Time: Three hours Item #s: In-Person: 652564 Virtual: 743477 Participants: Up to 30
• Develop a plan to track students’ reading comprehension • Help families take part in effective read-alouds at home
