Building a strong foundation in literacy requires a well-thought-out roadmap grounded in evidence-based practices, explicit instruction, consistency, and meaningful engagement with language. As educators, it is essential that we create daily opportunities for students to make connections between letters, sounds, words, and meaning. Through intentional teaching and structured literacy experiences, students develop the foundational skills necessary for long-term reading success.Our goal is to support students in mastering phonological awareness, language acquisition, reading fluency, and reading comprehension while building confidence as communicators and learners. Effective literacy instruction goes beyond teaching students how to read; it helps them understand language, think critically, express ideas clearly, and engage with the world around them.Within both classroom and resource settings, small daily habits can have a powerful impact on literacy growth. Reading aloud, engaging in meaningful conversations, exploring sounds and vocabulary, and providing regular opportunities for writing all contribute to stronger literacy development over time. When these practices are implemented consistently and intentionally, students are better equipped to become confident, capable, and lifelong readers.Together, we will explore practical, evidence-based strategies that help students build strong literacy foundations, develop confidence, and become successful, engaged readers and writers from the very start.

Les recherches démontrent que l'enseignement explicite est une des meilleures méthodes pour s'assurer que tous nos élèves réussissent. Lors de cet atelier sans prétention, je vais vous montrer la méthode de travail et d'organisation que j'utilise pour créer des activités pédagogiques, autant en lecture, qu'en écriture et en interaction orale, avec la littérature jeunesse. À la fin de l'atelier, j'aimerais qu'on réserve du temps pour créer des leçons ensemble, avec un gabarit qui préconise l'enseignement explicite.  Apportez vos albums de littérature jeunesse préférés si vous le désirez!

The Target Before the Task: Designing Learning Goals
LIMITED3.00 PD
Limited Capacity seats available
New teachers are often juggling curriculum expectations, classroom routines, student needs, and assessment demands all at once. Clear learning targets can make that work more manageable by helping teachers identify the purpose of a lesson, choose appropriate tasks, provide focused feedback, and help students understand what they are learning and why. In this session, participants will practice turning curriculum expectations into clear, student-friendly learning targets and consider how those targets can support planning, instruction, and assessment
