Program: RPDC - Agency for Teaching, Leading and Learning

Location: Park Central Office Building (ROOM 112) (Springfield, MO)

Dates: 11/10/2021

If you are a math, history, science, or art teacher, where does literacy fit into your instruction? In order to succeed, students must develop literacy skills in order to access, learn, and comprehend. Adolescent literacy is critical to the classroom success of middle- and high-school students. Reading in the content areas (e.g., social studies, science) is different from reading for enjoyment. As Richard Vaca, author of Content Area Reading: Literacy and Learning Across the Curriculum, says, "Adolescents entering the adult world in the 21st century will read and write more than at any other time in human history. They will need advanced levels of literacy to perform their jobs, run their households, act as citizens, and conduct their personal lives.” What you will learn

• Discover how to integrate literacy development with the content area knowledge you teach

• Learn to utilize new ideas while enhancing the skills and lesson plans you have already developed

• Discover literacy development strategies that make content come alive for each and every student

• Learn how literacy is connected to adolescent development, and discover how to accommodate a diverse group of learners in a classroom How you will benefit

• Learn to utilize new ideas while augmenting the skills and lesson plans you have already developed

• Gain confidence in your ability to adapt to the MLS and be a successful 21st century teacher

• See how easy it can be to deliver content to students at varying levels of literacy development

This two-session workshop is for Second Grade teachers interested in learning more about the science of reading and its components.

Session 1 - Phonological Awareness/Phonics
Phonological Awareness: Participants will gain an understanding of the continuum of skills for phonological awareness at the Second-Grade level, whether basic or advanced, and how to teach it explicitly and systematically. Participants will leave with activities for each skill on the continuum to use in the classroom the next day.
Phonics: Participants will understand the importance of explicit and systematic phonics instruction at the Second-Grade level and how it differs from phonological awareness. Orthographic mapping will be discussed and how it helps students store printed words in long term memory and its connection to spelling. Many hands-on activities will be shared that can be taken back to the classroom for use the next day.

Session 2 - Vocabulary/Comprehension
Vocabulary/Comprehension: Participants will learn the importance of direct vocabulary instruction and how it aids reading comprehension at the Second-Grade level. Many activities will be shared for vocabulary instruction and reading comprehension both with read-alouds and independent reading, as well as how to integrate science and social studies standards.

Participants are asked to please bring a device to access the internet.

"Invest in your teachers by building your knowledge of effective literacy skills. Empower your teachers to stand in front of children every day and know that they are skilled enough to address the different needs, the different deficiencies or reading challenges that students might bring into their classrooms.” --- taken from The Hechinger Report

The components of effective literacy (reading instruction) are the same whether for prevention or for intervention. There is no better prevention or intervention than having a teacher that recognizes and is trained in the components of effective literacy and implements them in their reading instruction. How can administrators ensure effective reading instruction is in their building?

In this 4-session workshop, administrators will learn what components of evidence-based effective literacy to look for when observing teachers in their walk-throughs and how to coach with intentional feedback to ensure effective reading instruction.

Session 1 - The Challenge of Learning to Read
Session 2 - How Phonological Skills Should be Taught
