Literacy Challenges: Addressing the Unnatural Literacy Hierarchy in the Elementary Grades
Audience: Grades K–8 educators
The Science of Reading identifies the foundational skills that students need in order to learn how to read—but learning does not end when these skills have been mastered. Moreover, wider, richer, and deeper learning should not be delayed until after these skills have been mastered.
Join award-winning author, literacy researcher, and professor Dr. Alfred W. Tatum as he explores the unnatural literacy hierarchy that can occur in the elementary grades and how educators can overcome the grand challenges to students’ advanced literacy achievement. During this edWebinar, Dr. Tatum will provide proven and practical strategies for moving beyond the incomplete or limited literacy orientations that often get between young learners and desired literacy outcomes.
Attendees will leave this session with:
- An understanding of how to identify and address unnatural reading and writing hierarchies
- Insights into the eight principles for advanced literacy achievement
- Concrete examples of an effective daily instructional hour
All educators with an interest in elementary literacy—especially K–5 classroom teachers, reading coaches, literacy leaders, instructional leaders, special educators, and curriculum directors—are encouraged to attend this edWebinar. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
