A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

Our recent and most challenging season of teaching and learning has left us wondering whether our "tried and true" methods of reading instruction are really providing our students what they need to be most successful. The truth is in front of us, and we feel the responsibility to help our students escape their discouraging and ongoing struggle in reading. Join me in this one-day STRUCTURED LITERACY seminar as we discover and practice scientifically proven methods and classroom-tested practical strategies that you can easily incorporate into your existing curriculum to enhance and improve your students' literacy outcomes immediately and into their future.

During our day together, we will explore the components of Structured Literacy as well as learn a variety of classroom-tested techniques and strategies that will directly support your existing K-6 literacy curriculum and almost instantly boost your students' reading achievement. I will share a wealth of information you can use to incorporate and implement the key components of Structured Literacy in an easy-to-understand format with many practical classroom applications for all grades K-6.

Plan on an engaging and informative day with practical models and realistic practice opportunities that are sure to energize and empower you and your colleagues. Our time together will leave you with powerful strategies to apply in your classroom immediately. All the techniques I plan to share are research proven, effective, and easy to implement in your K-6 classroom.
