Decodable Text is a Bridge, Not a Destination

Presenter: Cheryl Tartaglione
Time: Registration – 8:00 to 8:30 | Workshop – 8:30 to 1:30
Cost: $149 (Registration fee includes a continental breakfast)

In this participatory workshop, attendees will examine how our struggling readers need controlled text to support their growing knowledge of taught phonograms. Expanding to connected text can at times be challenging. This workshop will explore the use of materials that will meaningfully bridge controlled text to connected text to enhance fluency as well as comprehension.
