Anne Goudivis, Real World Reading: Comprehension Instruction Across the Curriculum, Content literacy gets kids excited about the real world and fosters understanding across the disciplines. Whether its science, history, or literature, kids are reading, writing, talking, drawing, viewing, listening, and investigating. This presentation will focus on comprehension practices that: immerse students in topics they can sink their teeth into, honor their question, curiosities and interests, and encourage the active use of knowledge.
Max Brand, Creating Space and Places for Words, Vocabulary is an essential ingredient to understanding in the classroom. Research has shown that the depth of learners’ vocabulary is reflected in their achievement level. This presentation will explore how to integrate systematic vocabulary instruction into classroom rituals, routines and structures.
Chris Biffle, The Wonderland of Whole Brain Reading, From phonics to deep comprehension, from sight words to language arts state standards, from pre-K through advanced 6th graders, discover Whole Brain Teaching’s wealth of reading strategies. Weave the Golden Thread of Fun through all your literacy activities!
