AllThe Elements of Structured Literacy are specific and are meant to support all learners.
This session will ask you to reflect on literacy approaches in classrooms, how Structured Literacy can serve all learners or a population of struggling learners and what instructional processes teachers need to engage in to meet the diverse learners in the classroom. We will look at phonological awareness and decoding, as well as vocabulary and literacy knowledge strands that are woven together to create literacy for all!
