Limited Capacity filling up
Transform your independent reading block from passive pages to active engagement! Join two reading specialists and an Instructional Coach for Digital Learning (DLC) to discover how to leverage technology to create meaningful, differentiated reading tasks. We’ll kick off as a whole group to establish clear learning goals, build student accountability, and set up effective classroom routines. Then, you will experience the learning firsthand through interactive stations. You’ll have the autonomy to choose 1-2 digital tools that best fit your students' needs, dive deep into their features, and leave with a ready-to-use implementation plan to push your readers to grow.

This session is intended for K-5 reading teachers.
