| Workshop Full Desc | Unlock the Code: A Science-Backed Workshop for Transformational Literacy
Discover how reading, spelling, writing, and vocabulary work together like gears in a powerful literacy engine. In this engaging, hands-on workshop, participants will learn how the Science of Reading can be leveraged to build confident, capable readers and writers no guesswork, no gimmicks. Through practical strategies and brain-based insights, you ll explore how decoding supports comprehension, how spelling reinforces word recognition, how writing deepens understanding, and how vocabulary fuels meaning-making across all content areas. Walk away with tools you can use tomorrow to accelerate literacy growth and help every learner truly unlock the code. |
| Workshop Audience | ELA teachers or Social Studies / content-area teachers who want to strengthen literacy practices |
| Workshop Prerequisites | Not set |
| Workshop Objectives | a. 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.

| Assessment of Learning | Facilitate 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 & Resources | Provide 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 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. |
