Allyson Matczuk
Early Literacy Consultant and Reading Recovery Trainer
Manitoba Education and Training, La Salle, Manitoba, Canada
Session Titles and Descriptions
Efficiencies and Effectiveness of High-Quality Emergent Literacy Classrooms
Arranging for a smooth transition into and out of Reading Recovery support takes a Team Approach. What is our role? When do we need to take action? How can we do this as effectively as possible? What do we owe to our students? We will examine two perspectives: the classroom teachers and the Reading Recovery teachers.
Sensitive Observation: One Key Competency to Effective Teaching (Repeated)
Learning how to watch students as they talk, read, and write informs our teaching through detailed records and teacher reflection. The more confusion and tangles a child has, the more critical it is to be sensitive in what we observe, what we record, and what we teach. It all starts with looking carefully. Here we will think more about what this means with children who challenge our teaching most.
Dr. Matczuk is a Reading Recovery Trainer for the Canadian Institute of Reading Recovery. She has had many years of teaching experience from grades 1 to 12 in four countries, and at the University of Manitoba. Her areas of study include language development, second language learning, children’s writing development, reciprocal nature of reading and writing, professional development, and programs and policies for early literacy education.

Harnessing the Power of Interactive Read Aloud (Repeated)
Interactive Read Aloud is one of the most flexible and powerful instructional art forms available to teachers. IRA develops strategic, critical, and creative thinking; fosters vibrant literacy learning communities; nurtures risk-taking and inquiry; and builds capacity for listening, speaking, and collaborative conversation. This hands-on session will take participants deep into the practice of Interactive Read Aloud and support teachers in developing engaging IRA lessons that will both meet standards and promote book joy. An extensive list of read-alouds will be shared.
Fostering Book Joy in Reading Recovery Students
We teach students how to read, but do we also teach students how to love reading? This session will explore how teachers can foster book joy in Reading Recovery students throughout the lesson framework and series. Leaning on the work of Carol Lyons and Peter Johnston, we will investigate the role that emotions play in motivation, as well as the relationship between agency and identity.
Lisa Pinkerton is the Marie Clay Endowed Chair in Reading Recovery and Early Literacy at The Ohio State University, where she also works as a Reading Recovery Trainer. She is an avid reader of children's and young adult literature and loves to work with teachers around literacy pedagogy. Lisa can usually be found recommending books to students and teachers.
