CULLOWHEE—The North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching presents a program designed for elementary grade teachers and literacy.
“Reading, Writing, and Ready by Third Grade: Early Grades Literacy Instruction” takes place August 20–23 in Ocracoke. Literacy instruction is as difficult as it is essential. This program will provide early grades teachers with a complement of research-based tools and strategies to help answer some of their more burning questions:
- How do I teach close reading to students who don’t yet know the alphabet?
- What level of writing can I attain from children who are still learning to spell?
- How do I simultaneously provide enrichment for advanced readers and remediation for delayed readers?
- How can I integrate reading and writing instruction into all other subject areas?
- Finally, what does this instruction look like in the classroom and how are student engagement and learning measured in this process?
The program number is 14675.
