It's Both/And: Teaching Each Child With a Variety of Texts

Add to Calendar 2024-12-09 18:30 2024-12-09 19:45 America/New_York It's Both/And: Teaching Each Child With a Variety of Texts Register for this virtual webinar and examine the importance of using a variety of text types with children!

Join us to refine your decision-making about when, why and how to use a variety of text types, including children’s literature, leveled texts and decodable books, to meet the needs of your students. Learn how to provide a “healthy balance” of text types that are engaging and culturally sustaining and connect phonics skills with reading for meaning. In this 75-minute webinar, we will:

  • Define what is meant by “decodability” and consider how the amount of decodability varies on a continuum.
  • Discuss the importance of providing children with the opportunity to read natural language texts to expand their reading processing systems by applying their decoding skills and reading for meaning.
  • Examine when, why, and how to get the most out of decodable books for reading instruction.
