The New Literacy Block

When we begin to examine literacy, it is easy to be overwhelmed by the number of skills, strategies, and elements that fit under the umbrella of the term. In classrooms everywhere, the same challenges seem to surface and the question that gets asked the most frequently is this: “How do we fit it all in?”

Join co-authors Lisa Donohue and Nicole Town for a research-informed, relevant, and relatable webinar that explores their timely approach to the literacy block. They will share how to make the most of instructional time and support all students in continuing their development of strong literacy skills into the junior and intermediate grades.

You’ll leave feeling empowered to build routines that allow you to implement structured literacy instruction grounded in culturally relevant and responsive pedagogy. Lisa and Nicole will illustrate how to efficiently manage your instructional time to enable you to collect the necessary assessment data to inform targeted interventions and deliver a tiered approach to instruction. Their practical framework provides opportunities for students to engage in purposeful practice of the foundational skills that will nurture them to become critically literate in school and beyond.
