In this session participants will learn about the research around how syntax, text structure, and genre impact reading comprehension and written expression. The session will teach concepts of grammar that can be communicated to students in a structured "kid-friendly” manner. A template will be provided to help students write sentences and apply various parts of speech to expand sentences. Participants are encouraged to bring student created writing pieces for analysis and interpretation for instructional shifts.
We encourage school teams and/or individuals from multiple disciplines to attend including: administrators, school psychologists, reading teachers, classroom teachers, speech and language pathologists, special education teachers, and other school professionals.
