Seminar Full DescDay 1: Title: Integrate, Don t Isolate! Building Stronger Readers and Writers through an Integration of Language and Literacy

Description: This session highlights the reciprocal relationship between our language systems (phonology, orthography, semantics, syntax, and morphology) and demonstrates the power of an integrated approach to language and literacy instruction.
Hands-on instructional routines and practices for early elementary, upper elementary, and content area educators in middle school and high school will be shared, modeled, and practiced to optimize the transfer to classroom practice.

Day 2: Title: Translating Writing: Transcription and Composition Strategies to Advance Reading Comprehension and Writing

Description: In this session we will briefly explore the theoretical foundations of the reading-writing connection with the Not-So-Simple View of Writing (Berninger & Winn, 2006) and the Writing Rope (Sedita, 2019) as well as the cognitive processes that underpin both reading and writing. The session s main goal is to translate these research-based frameworks to practice by offering instructional strategies that enhance both transcription and composition skills to advance both reading comprehension and writing.
