Kick the Clutter: Creating a Classroom that is Conducive to Learning
Are you noticing your students looking at the posters on your walls in the middle of instruction? Have anchor charts taken over your classroom? Is everything you need readily on hand or somewhere in a stack? Chaos and clutter make it harder for you to teach and harder for your students to learn. We can do better for our students and ourselves. This webinar will help you clear the way for teaching and learning!
Remember to Have them Read: Prioritizing Practice with Connected Text
Are you wondering if your students are getting enough of the right kind of reading practice? Are your students reading text as part of your phonics lessons?

Starting with the Sentence Webinar
Sentences are the unsung heroes of reading and writing! In this pre-recorded webinar, you’ll explore how our targeted instruction on sentences can help students understand, build, and play with sentence reading and writing to boost their comprehension and composition skills.

We’ll dig into practical strategies, try out activities you can use right away, and share creative ways to make sentence work meaningful (and actually fun). Think sentence scrambles, expansion games, silly starters, and more!

Learn about the types of engagement, strategies to boost motivation, and how to effectively provide—and fade—scaffolds. You’ll also explore the Hierarchy of Learning, opportunities to respond, and practical approaches to differentiate instruction in both Tier I and Tier II settings.
