Presentation: The presentation will include pedagogy and researched-based strategies for promoting student literacy growth in schools, at home, and in the community. We will discuss ways to support literacy development (reading, writing, speaking/discussion) to address all learners (Kindergarten to 12th Grade). We will encourage practices for home connection to empower parents/guardians to support their children in learning to develop their reading, writing, and language skills that can be used across content subject areas.
