Feedback form is now closed.
With the inundation of literacy programs, strategies, practices, and research that we see and hear about, deciding what to prioritize and how to structure your literacy classroom so you can ‘fit it all in’ can be a challenge. In this session, we will share some of the evidenced-based practices to consider when building your program and dig into ways to organize your classroom from the earliest years to grade 2. The focus will be on building a balanced literacy program that meets the needs of your students and particular context, looking at the big ideas and components that are a must in developing the foundations of literacy. From read-alouds to independent reading and writing, you will leave with concrete ideas/ways to structure your literacy program!
