Workshop by Erica Pecorale

How to be Flexible, Creative and Adaptable with Research-Based Literacy Practices in Order to Promote Independence Presented by Erica Pecorale

This full day workshop will pull from the most reliable names in Literacy Education to provide multiple strategies that will empower educators to incorporate well-researched literacy practices into their daily routines. Participants will revisit the power of transformative Interactive Read Aloud.

We will examine how meaningful writing about reading can easily be incorporated into our work with students without excessive teacher planning. Together we will reset our expectations for students during Independent Reading time by considering how student choices can be viewed as data that helps teachers make informed decisions about their student’s next steps. Teachers will reexamine how small group frameworks can be designed to maximize goals set for all learners within the classroom. Varying the types of small group lessons being conducted will enable teachers to incorporate diverse and differentiated group work into the constraints of any program, schedule or daily format.
