Welcome to the first annual SEA Literacy Collaborative!
"Proficient readers carry a set of reading skills and strategies with them when they approach any text. In order to make meaning of a text, readers make use of strategies and decide when a given strategy is appropriate. [Our] goal is to make sure that each reader is not only using strategies, but also using them independently and with confidence."
- Jennifer Serravallo and Gravity Goldberg
Reader's Workshop is an opportunity to foster agency, build stamina, and develop a love of reading that students can carry with them for a lifetime. It is also an opportunity to personalize reading development, and to meet students wherever they are and to help them grow in their abilities to be strong readers.
STRENGTHENING THE CORE is an invitation for us to develop that core of reading strategies in our students, to deepen our practices around the core elements of Reader's Workshop, and to examine opportunities for greater integration of the strategies and skills embedded in the Common Core into our independent reading programs.
