Bridges Literacy Conference

How do we prepare our most vulnerable elementary students to read? How do we begin? This session is urgent and timely. Now, more than ever, we must double-down on instructional evidence-based practices that are proven to accelerate student learning in reading; it is about equity of instruction. In this session, administrators and teachers will learn how to use MTSS to build instructional capacity to improve reading outcomes through the Science of Reading. Now is the time to innovate, develop a plan, and commit to preventing reading failure and creating a better future for our students.

Any subject you teach can provide the perfect context for practicing communication skills. Embed literacy instruction - reading, writing, speaking/listening, and vocabulary - in authentic and engaging ways. In this active session you will practice simple, use now strategies and routines that will improve students' oral and written abilities--without them even knowing it!
