PD Webinar:
Developing Strong Readers at Any Distance

ABOUT:
In this webinar, you will discover ways to boost students’ reading growth and make up for lost learning time, whether you teach virtually or in the classroom. Literacy expert and author Patty McGee share principles and practices for increasing student achievement through high-impact lessons, supportive instructional language, and culturally responsive texts for K-6.

This research-based webinar will help you gain expertise and confidence in improving reading skills online or in the classroom, by building social emotional connections and using them as the lever for effective instruction and meaningful practice.

You’ll learn how to:

• Harness the power of repetitive shared reading experiences
• Link interactive writing to boost reading skills
• Intentionally use vocabulary that builds comprehension skills
• Scaffold independent practice that leads to effective transfer of skills

This webinar will emphasize tools and techniques for virtual teaching—and include candid sharing about what does and doesn’t work—so it will be of interest to literacy and curriculum directors, instructional coaches, principals, reading specialists, and K-6 teachers.
