Meaningful Reading Instruction for Multilingual, Multicultural Students, Grades PreK-3
We all know that emergent literacy best takes place in students’ first language. In this workshop we will focus on how we can best support MLs in their quest to become readers in their second language (L2).
- Explore how to support students’ emergent first language literacy even when you don’t speak it and materials aren’t available;
- Examine best practices for supporting L2 literacy development;
- Get to know a fun and effective approach to interactive read-alouds
- Incorporate all language domains into literacy instruction
- Make plans to take new learning back to school/district
Target Audience: Teachers, coaches, administrators, grades PreK-3
