Title: Breakthrough In Beginning Reading and Writing (PreK-2)

Description:
This session helps teachers take the guesswork out of instructing beginning and struggling readers and writers with an easily applied approach to step-by-step assessment and matched instruction. Based on the evidence-based phase observation approach, teachers monitor literacy growth as they document operational changes in the child’s reading, writing, and spelling and apply earlier interventions with targeted instruction.

Objectives of the Program
· Clarify the evidence-based phases of code breaking
· Demonstrate parallel development of beginning reading, writing, and spelling phases
· Show how to pinpoint students’ needs and deliver targeted reading instruction for each phase in individual, small group, and multilevel whole class situations
· Examine how best to match instruction to the child’s phase and move the child to the next higher phase
· Explore the implications for earlier targeted intervention
