Access the Power of the Reading-Writing Connection in Your K–1 Literacy Approach
In this single-session course, learn how master teacher and best-selling author Regie Routman demonstrates what kindergarten students are capable of as independent readers, writers, and thinkers. Observe on video how Regie uses stories from the children’s lives as a springboard for leading scaffolded conversations to personally engage students and extend their language skills, to model concepts about print and teach skills in context, and to raise literacy expectations. Observe also how it’s possible, as one teacher, to conduct one-on-one roving, writing conferences with every student in the classroom.
