Literacy Development
Personalizing and Differentiating Instruction
As educators we know that one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to literacy development. Each student’s journey to reading success is unique, and addressing so many different needs in a busy classroom can seem overwhelming. In this session we’ll explore how to use assessment results to identify student reading needs, then build a manageable plan for differentiating and personalizing literacy instruction. Learning outcomes: • Plan lessons that tailor early literacy instruction based on pacing, instructional content, and skills practice • Use assessments to determine readiness levels and target instruction • Identify practices for managing personalized instruction in the classroom • Integrate routines and technology to maximize literacy learning and engagement for all children

The Science of Reading
The Science of Reading: Building Phonological Awareness
In this session participants will learn how research demonstrates the importance of phonological awareness and concepts of print are to readers’ development and what that means for classroom instruction. Participants will take a close look at how to assess and analyze concepts of print and phonological awareness and what instruction looks like in whole-class and small-group settings. This session allows for deliberate practice, modeling, and collaborative thinking as we dive into the science behind early reading skills. Learning outcomes: • Name the role that print concepts and phonological awareness play in the science of reading and how they affect early literacy development • Define print concepts and phonological awareness • Assess and analyze students’ print concept and phonological awareness skills • Plan and facilitate data-informed instruction for print concepts and phonological awareness
