Research has proven that our youngest learners build knowledge and a foundation for early literacy skills through oral language development. Educators can use research-aligned strategies to support their students with developing early language and literacy skills together in fun and engaging ways. In this workshop, participants will define the characteristics of young learners, explore strategies and resources that support oral language development and early reading and writing skills, and build a plan to implement strategies with students to support literacy outcomes and priorities. This workshop is intended for a K-5 audience.
I plan high-quality lessons for foundational reading instruction, including phonics, decoding, phonological and phonemic awareness, and high-frequency word recognition.
