Morning Workshops (Choose One)
Workshops for the K‐3 Classroom Kenneth Kunz & Maureen Hall: Let’s Get Foundational: Strategies for Struggling Readers (K‐3) In this early childhood‐centered workshop, participants will explore (1) research related to why some children struggle (2) strategies for helping students develop foundational skills, and (3) opportunities for fostering joyful, motivating, and positive cultures of literacy through small group and individualized settings. Diane Lapp: Promote Independence Among Young Readers with Vocabulary Development to Enhance Comprehension (K‐3) Young children are excited to begin school and are anxious to learn to read and write. A child's vocabulary can determine their reading achievement. Building vocabulary is one of the most important areas in early literacy instruction. Its importance is often not recognized. In this session we will visit evidence based strategies to develop vocabulary which will enable children to be independent, fluent readers. Sponsored by: Sadlier Lesley Mandel Morrow: Organizing and Managing Differentiated Instruction with Guided Reading & Strategy Groups (K‐3) In this session the difference between guided reading and strategy groups will be discussed. Both are forms of differentiated literacy instruction. We will focus on how to select groups, assess students, select materials, design lessons, and provide classroom management. Each participant will receive the link to the Power Point and handouts needed so you will be able to work with your districts to improve their Guided Reading and Strategy groups.
Workshops for the 4‐8 Classroom Wiley Blevins: Navigating Nonfiction (4‐8) With the increased emphasis on informational text, this session examines how authors help readers organize their thinking when reading, understand new vocabulary, and increase their overall comprehension. It also examines how these techniques can be used by students to improve their writing about a nonfiction topic. Participants will explore the major text structures and text features, general tips for navigating this type of text, and ways to increase students’ independent reading of nonfiction. Sponsored by: Sadlier Heather Casey: Writing to Learn: Strategies for Inspiring and Engaging Elementary and Middle School Writers (4‐8) Writing is the foundation for literacy learning across disciplines and for navigating the world around us. Join us for this interactive session where we investigate strategies to engage elementary and adolescent writers across disciplines to support learning and inspire creative connections. Techniques for exploring multiple genres that can be used to inspire creativity and link to disciplinary learning will be shared. Mentor texts, both physical and digital, that can be used to support developing writers across disciplines and genres will be explored. Leave with ideas, strategies, and resources that you can implement on Monday!
Workshops for the K‐8 Classroom Tasha Austin: Essential Literacy Strategies for English Language Learners in All Classrooms (K‐8) In this session the presenter will explore challenges, supports, and strategies for the language demands English Language Learners are faced with in all K‐12 classrooms. Despite its nominal land area, New Jersey is home to some of the most diverse students both ethnically and linguistically in the nation, falling behind only four other states (demographic‐research.org). In U.S. education, the conceptual shift toward content mastery coupled with the cultural mismatch between educators and their public school students presents a challenge in terms of language acquisition and, thereby, content proficiency. Evidenced based experiences which are useful to all teachers will be presented.

Workshops for the 4‐8 Classroom Kenneth Kunz and Maureen Hall: Making Up for Lost Time: Strategies for Struggling Readers (4‐8) In this upper elementary/middle school‐centered workshop, participants will explore opportunities for authentically reinforcing comprehension, vocabulary, and writing in tandem with foundational skills that may have been missed. Opportunities for utilizing new literacies and multimodal literacy will be introduced. Tips will be included for fostering joyful, authentic, and positive cultures of literacy in small group settings with struggling older readers. Diane Lapp: Vocabulary: A Strong Foundation for Elementary and Middle School Students (4‐8) The “science of reading” is hot. Just take a look at the popular press and Twitter. Often teaching vocabulary is not given the time necessary to develop fluent readers. In this session evidenced based strategies for developing vocabulary will be explored. Different vocabularies need to be learned to result in comprehension of different types of text. In this session problems experienced by elementary and middle school students will be identified along with motivating strategies to enhance their vocabulary and comprehension. Sponsored by: Sadlier Donalyn Miller: Books for Better World 2020 (4‐8) Reading offers validation for our experiences and fosters empathy and awareness of others who have different experiences than ours. In this session, Donalyn Miller will booktalk new(ish) children’s and young adult books offering a wide variety of perspectives, voices, formats, and provide resources and suggestions for sharing these books with young readers.
Workshops for the K‐8 Classroom Tanny McGregor: Making the Complex Concrete: Using Realia, Art, and Music to Foster Deeper Thinking (K‐8) Being metacognitive, making inferences, synthesizing ideas. It's not easy to explain these abstract concepts, yet knowing how they work and how to use them is important in becoming a deeper reader. Join Tanny's session to learn about tangible, practical approaches to make abstract thinking concrete, and help students' move toward a nuanced understanding of the intersection of their thinking with the text. Kelli Westmoreland: Using Multimodal Text Sets to Spark Inquiry and Engagement in ELA and Social Studies Classes (K‐8) Validity, reliability, perspective, and authenticity must be key components of our social studies classes. With the power and ease of the accessibility to thousands of Internet resources, teaching argument is essential. Text sets offer a solution by providing differentiation, multiple perspectives, and opportunities for inquiry. In addition to previewing resources kids care about, we’ll share various teaching strategies that will engage students and encourage further learning. The purpose of this session is for teachers to understand the Influence that readily accessible multimodal Internet resources have on knowledge. The Internet can and should be a regular tool for students, but we must teach students to assess what it is they are viewing. Teamed with a collection of beautiful texts, teachers will want to embrace the Internet as a much‐needed resource for students. Participants will leave with an understanding of both the practices and significance of integrating relevant multimodal internet resources into their literacy and content classes. Sponsored by: Booksource Janet Wong: HOP TO IT! Harnessing the Power of Poetry to Get Your Students Moving (K‐8) Poems that incorporate movement can help younger children “get the wiggles out” and can ease the stress that older children feel—preparing everyone for a better learning experience. Poet Janet Wong will share a wide variety of poems that make us feel more joyful and alive, while also touching on topics across the curriculum, from science and math to social studies and language arts instruction. Learn more about Janet's work at janetwong.com and pomelobooks.com.
