This session introduces participants to several high-yield leadership strategies, including clearly seeing reality, identifying purpose, managing time, understanding and shaping culture, managing change, combining ambition with humility. In addition, we present tools people can use to apply those strategies in their daily lives.
This presentation will focus on emerging research suggesting that proficiency in phoneme awareness skills is essential for building a large and continuously expanding sight vocabulary. This session will address the phonological skills needed to remember and instantly identify written words. Most assume that phoneme skills are limited to K-1 and are assumed to be associated with phonic development. Yet decades of research on orthographic learning clearly shows that phoneme-level skills are foundational for remembering the words we read. The skills needed for word-level reading and discuss techniques that promote that skill will be highlighted.
This session will focus on how children learn to read words and why some children struggle. Understanding the nature of word-level reading development and word-level reading problems will guide both instruction and intervention. Studies consistently show that the most commonly used intervention approaches provide limited benefits for weak readers. However, other studies have shown that some approaches can yield very large reading gains for such students, and these will be the focus of the presentation.
This session will describe how to use explicit and systematic instructional components to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of your core reading instruction. By using these instructional components when delivering the critical content of literacy instruction, you can increase the quality of practice opportunities for all students leading to more favorable reading outcomes. Come see how you can enhance your current Core reading instruction by improving the delivery of foundational skills instruction which will lead to accelerated student learning!
