Description: Join us for a fun, fast-paced, phonics-focused session of professional development. National presenter, author, and traveling teacher Mark Weakland will set the stage with an explanation of how reading arises in the brain and why reading difficulties develop. Then comes the most important part: how to prevent reading difficulties from occurring! Mark will discuss and model (and participants will practice) over two dozen powerful and easy to implement classroom practices, including: four highly effective teaching techniques every teacher can and should use; activities, such as Look Touch Say, that integrate phonics and meaning; multi-sensory activities that help students permanently store spelling-phonic patterns in their brains, re-reading routines that build automatic word recognition, and word learning activities, like advanced word ladders and dot and check spelling, that integrate spelling, phonics, vocabulary, and even Latin roots. Our AM session is tailored to teachers in Grades 3-8; our PM session is for PreK-2 teachers.
