3rd-5th Structured Literacy Block Planning Workshop

NO more guessing and NO more throwing spaghetti at the wall! We've all been there, but there is a much better way! Implementing a strong structured literacy block is crucial and is the turning point! Teaching students to read well is not a mystery! I've done the work for you and would love to help you get started right where you are!  

This session is for 3rd-5th teachers, literacy coaches and administrators who are ready to implement a strong structured literacy block based on reading science research that will increase student achievement.  I will help you create a structured literacy block and a literacy plan that starts right where you are!  

Over the years, it has become the norm to accept that 60% or more of our students are not reading on grade level. THIS IS NOT "NORMAL" and is NOT okay. You don't have to settle with this data and our students are worth us putting in the work to get it right, sooner than later. All teachers deserve to learn this information, too! 

The truth is about 30%-40% of students will learn to read well without explicit reading instruction. BUT, 60%-70% of students need explicit and systematic instruction that is well planned and well implemented. And the best news is that changing student achievement is 100% possible. When we know better, we do better! Let's get you the tools you need to increase student achievement data. 

Join me to learn best practices and the must do's of implementing a strong structured literacy block (based on science of reading research) that will help improve student achievement. Confidently start the year with a strategic literacy plan and systems in place...it will make ALL the difference!
