Literacy Matters: Student Literacy Growth & the School Library
Pearl Hamada Yonamine
My name is Pearl Hamada Yonamine. I have been an educator from the Guam Department of Education for the last 20 years. I am an Early Childhood major with Masters in Reading and taught Kindergarten to 5th grade for the regular and GATE classroom. I am currently an Instructional Coach as part of the Curriculum-Instruction-Assessment (CIA) Project.
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.
