Title: Reading Strategies: Essential Teaching for Every Classroom
Description: Reading strategies offer children the essential "how to" to accomplish any goal or skill: from engaging with their reading, to decoding and blending to read words accurately, to reading fluently, to understand what they read. Reading strategies make teaching more explicit, and support independence, and they belong in every classroom, no matter your curriculum or your approach to literacy instruction. In this keynote, Jennifer Serravallo will review the broad and deep research-based strategy instruction, what makes an effective strategy, and how to use goals and skill progressions toidentify the right strategy at the right time--whether planning (or supplementing) curriculum or making decisions for differentiated instruction.
