Interactive Literacy Workshop for Secondary Students
This workshop will provide secondary educators with best practices for adolescent reading intervention through the implementation of interactive literacy centers, providing a structured approach effective for all students, including those with learning challenges. We will explore the impact of literacy centers on reading proficiency, behavior management, and engagement in the learning process.
During the morning session, the presenters will model the planning, preparation, scaffolding and implementation of two rotations of a variety of literacy centers. In a multi-part simulation, the workshop participants will take on the roles of students rotating through the centers. In the afternoon session, the presenters will guide the workshop participants in the development of their own center activities. After a simulated rotation through the newly-created centers, participants will leave the workshop with completed activities ready for immediate implementation in their classrooms.

Literacy Best Practices: Morphology Basics
Join us as we explore the role that explicit morphology instruction plays in developing word recognition, spelling, pronunciation, oral fluency, vocabulary, and overall reading comprehension for all students, with an emphasis on the needs of older struggling readers. Participants will leave the training with both foundational morphology knowledge and instructional strategies for easy implementation in their classrooms.
*Morphology is the study of the internal structure of words, or how words are formed from morphemes, which are the smallest meaningful units of meaning. For example, the word "contradiction" can be broken down as "contra-dict-ion", with the prefix "contra-" (against), the root word "dict" (to speak), and the suffix "-ion".
