Workshop 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.

Day 3: Enjoy Make and Take, Breakout sessions and more.
Workshop AudienceELA teachers or Social Studies / content-area teachers who want to strengthen literacy practices
Workshop PrerequisitesNot set
Workshop Objectivesa. Demonstrate the interconnected nature of language systems (phonology, orthography, semantics, syntax, and morphology) and how they collectively support literacy development.

b. Model grade-specific instructional practices that bridge language knowledge to reading comprehension and writing skills across educational levels

c. Illustrate how syntactic knowledge can be explicitly taught to improve both reading comprehension and writing coherence.

d. Illustrate how syntactic knowledge can be explicitly taught to improve both reading comprehension and writing coherence.

a. Explain the Not-So-Simple View of Writing and the Writing Rope frameworks and the cognitive processes that underpin reading and writing.

b. Clarify how writing contributes to reading comprehension and reading comprehension contributes to writing.
Assessment of LearningFacilitate collaborative practice with instructional routines that participants can immediately implement in their classrooms.
Develop actionable plans for integrating writing instruction into existing literacy programs.
An overview of two instructional strategies: Getting the GIST and Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) and thinkSRSD will be modeled and applied in partner-practice.
Workshop Topics, Concepts & ResourcesProvide practical, evidence-based instructional routines that integrate multiple language systems simultaneously for more effective reading and writing instruction.

Guide participants in analyzing spelling errors as windows into students' understanding of language systems to inform targeted instruction.

Equip educators with strategies to integrate morphological awareness into content area instruction to support vocabulary development and text comprehension.

Facilitate collaborative practice with instructional routines that participants can immediately implement in their classrooms.

Explore evidence-based instructional strategies for teaching transcription and composition, specifically handwriting, spelling, and composing.

Plan for Implementation
