Title: Reading Strategies: Essential Research-Based Instruction for Every Classroom
Description: Drawing from the newly-released The Reading Strategies Book 2.0, a
research-packed (700+ citations to the science of reading) revised and
reimagined update to the NYT bestselling resource, this workshop will help
you use strategies effectively in your instruction—no matter what
approach to literacy you use, or the grade level, developmental levels, or ages
of the students you teach.

You’ll first learn about the broad research base for strategy instruction in
reading and what makes an effective reading strategy. Then, you’ll learn
about each reading goal: key research findings, skill progressions for
systematic sequential teaching, tips for explicit teaching and feedback, and
how to match assessments to strategies that matter most.

Throughout the day you’ll view videos of Jen and her colleagues teaching K-8
readers in a variety of whole-class and small-group formats, aligned to the
range of goals. This day will be comprehensive and cover a lot of content,
engage you with activities, and equip you to take what you learned back to
the classroom right away.

Learning Objectives
Participants will:
● Develop an understanding of the research base for reading
strategies, goal-directed instruction, and for each reading goal.
● Learn practical strategies for assessing and evaluating reading.
● Use skill progressions to identify strategies and track progress
● Craft strategies and feedback prompts and learn to match them to
student goals
● Learn practical ways to guide student practice through conferences
and small groups, and how to match methods to purposes
● Explore practical ways to manage differentiation, including
notetaking and scheduling
