  Teaching Reading Across the Day: Explore the Science of Reading and Art of Teaching

  with presenter Jennifer Serravallo

  2/5/2025 at 7:00 AM - 1:00 PM (Pacific Standard Time)

  Live On Zoom - Full Day 

  This full-day, interactive, online workshop is based on her new release with Corwin Books: Teaching Reading Across the Day.

  In this workshop, she’ll teach nine effective, predictable, research-based lesson structures participants can use whether teaching English Language Arts, Science, or social studies in grades K-8. Through explanation, activities, and videos, attendees will learn the pacing and structures of each lesson type, as well as high leverage, research-based practices that are important across all lesson types such as building vocabulary and knowledge, incorporating responsiveness, making appropriate text choices, and keeping students highly engaged. Throughout, Jen will connect to the science of teaching reading—sharing key research studies and replicated findings—and also speak to the art of teaching—honoring teachers’ craft and decision-making.

  Learning Objectives

  Participants will:

  • Identify purposes for nine lesson structures (read aloud, phonics and spelling, vocabulary, focus, shared reading, close reading, guided inquiry, reader’s theater, and conversation)
  • Visualize how various lesson structures will work with the specific grade level and subject area(s) taught
  • Plan an engaging lesson using a provided lesson template
  • Apply strategies to keep students engaged during lessons
  • Demonstrate an understanding of how to incorporate vocabulary instruction and intentional knowledge building within each lesson type
  • Implement informed choices about which texts to use for which lesson structures and purposes
  • Cite key research findings that undergird the recommendations in the workshop

  Jennifer Serravallo is the author of numerous books including Teaching Reading Across the Day, the New York Times’ bestseller, The Reading Strategies Book as well as other popular Heinemann professional books; The Writing Strategies Book; Teaching Reading in Small Groups; and The Literacy Teacher's Playbook, Grades K–2 and Grades 3–6, Teaching Writing in Small Groups and Connecting with Students Online.
