Don’t Stop Making Sense: Orchestrating Word-Solving with Meaning (Webinar)
Learn how to refine your reading instruction by supporting children’s decoding skills and their use of meaning to read with accuracy and fluency.
Start your Saturday morning with a 90-minute discussion of how you can support accurate, efficient, and independent reading by helping students use decoding and meaning to monitor their own reading.
- Literacy Coaches & Teacher Leaders
- Classroom Teachers & Interventionists
Decades of research provides evidence that word solving and meaning-making go hand in hand. Spend part of your Saturday morning considering how to support both decoding and meaning-making for readers.
Topics:
- Review decades of evidence related to the role of meaning-making in word-solving
- Examine the role of meaning-making in orthographic mapping and vocabulary building
- Learn instructional moves to support efficient use of meaning in reading in coordination with word solving
You will earn 1.5 professional development hours for this training. Please note: In order to receive your credits, you must attend the entire 90-minute webinar. Recordings will be available for 5 days starting on Monday, March 18.
