πBringing the Science of Reading into the Elementary Classroom
In this workshop, Jan Burkins explores the heart part of this work, offering guidance on navigating the sometimes tricky work of helping teachers see the opportunity that these shifts offer to them and their students. Jan will also offer a high-level overview of all twelve shifts, drawing from both the K-2 (Burkins and Yates) and the 3-5 (Cunningham, Burkins, and Yates) Shifting the Balance books. Come learn common practices that need reexamination in the light of scientific research, and untangle some common instructional misunderstandings that actually make it harder for children to learn to read.
