DESCRIPTION:Register Now\n  \n\nDate: Monday\, January 12\, 2026\nPresenter: Michele M. Yanong\nECPD Credit Hours: 1 hour\n\nEvent ID: 265503022\n\n\n\n\nML Teacher Toolbox: LEA (Language Experience Approach) \nBridge the gap between your students’ spoken language and academic literacy with the powerful Language Experience Approach (LEA). Learn how co-constructing text based on shared experiences provides the essential context and understanding needed for Multilingual Learners (MLs) to confidently transition into reading and writing. \nIn this webinar\, you will walk away with: \n\nDirections for facilitating a shared experience and transcribing student narratives into a relevant\, co-constructed text that instantly becomes their foundational reading material.\nPractical techniques for leveraging the built-in context and familiarity of the text to explicitly teach discreet phonics\, grammar\, vocabulary\, and other language skills.\nExtension strategies for utilizing the co-constructed text as a dynamic tool for editing practice\, contrastive analysis between languages\, and focused fluency work\, transforming student voice into literacy mastery.\n\nAudience: All Educators
