A Multimodal, Integrated Approach
Implementing Brain-Based Foundations of Early Literacy: A Multimodal, Integrated Approach
This session lays the groundwork for understanding the reading process and how that translates into practical classroom application in beginning reading instruction. Participants leave this session
understanding how the neural pathways for reading are formed, what “systematic, explicit instruction” really means, and how to implement practical strategies for four research-based principles of reading instruction: (1) a strong language foundation, (2) explicit instruction and application, (3) multi-modal immersion, and (4) language arts integration. This session is targeted to primary teachers but is applicable to administrators and to intermediate teachers who want to better understand beginning reading or reading intervention. Session Number PD34
Thinking & Teaching
Diagnostically: Differentiating Instruction for Success with All Beginning Readers
Thinking & Teaching Diagnostically: Differentiating Instruction for Success with All Beginning Readers
In light of the new standards, grade-level reading proficiency is more important than ever. Yet teachers are faced with an ever- increasing range of learners. How
can all students reach grade-level text of appropriate complexity? Simply putting struggling readers in easier materials is not the answer. Instruction, not materials, holds the key. With today’s diverse student population, teachers need to think and teach diagnostically and know what tools to use to differentiate instruction based on the needs of the learners. This session will address how to differentiate instruction, providing a template for understanding the reading process, forming skills-based groups, and delivering effective instruction. Session Number PD35
Relevance, Engagement, Success: Why
Motivation Matters
Relevance, Engagement, Success: Why Motivation Matters
Motivated learners put more effort and time into learning tasks; they set high standards that emphasize competence; they learn to filter out distractions that interfere with attaining learning goals; they use effective learning strategies,
including monitoring their progress; and they practice and work at the task longer and harder than other students. The question then becomes, how do we build motivation? Participants in this interactive workshop will be introduced to the most recent research on the power of motivation in the process of learning to read and provided with specific strategies and knowledge to enact the key principles of motivation: relevance, engagement, and success. Session Number PD36
