- Time: 4:30-5:30

Join us as we embark on our Literacy for All journey. We will be diving into the groundbreaking book Comprehensive Literacy for All written by Karen Erickson and David Koppenhaver (2020). The book is divided into four sections: Core Understandings, Building a Foundation for Literacy, Learning to Read and Write, and Implementation
Rather than go through the book in chronological order, we will tackle this book from a skill teaching perspective to support teachers in meeting the needs of a diverse group of learners. In this year-long book study, we will be starting with setting our core understanding and then discussing the implementation and lesson plans. Then we dive deep into teaching literacy skills focusing on vocabulary work sets the stage for phonological, word work, and reading comprehension. We will be providing resource and lesson plan templates to assist all our Book Study participants in being able to create their own CLFA lessons. This may be a bit unconventional, but our hope is that the teacher and therapist will be able to walk away from each of our 45-minute sessions with resources and practical tips to use in the classroom the very next day. So join us on our journey as we take the road less traveled and mix it up!
