Six Ways to Bring The Science of Reading into the Upper Elementary Classroom: Shifting the Balance, Grades 3-5 Book Study
Join us as we walk through the second Shifting the Balance text by Jan Burkins, Kari Yates and Katie Cunningham for grades 3-5. We will explore common misunderstandings, demystify the science of reading connection and employ evidence-based recommendations for our classrooms in each of the six areas: how knowledge impacts comprehension; the role of strategy instruction in learning to comprehend; vocabulary instruction; word-reading instruction in the intermediate grades; fluency instruction; and, independent practice in the literacy classroom. Participants will employ self-selected shifts using reflective practice. NOTE: Participants need to secure a copy of Shifting the Balance Grades 3-5 by Jan Burkins, Kari Yates and Katie Cunningham Prior to the start of the course.
