About this event

The path to proficiency starts long before the screener. This comprehensive professional learning experience, designed for our earliest learners in 4K, focuses on strengthening early literacy instruction through intentional letter learning cycles that support success on literacy screeners. Over the course of three in-person learning days and one personalized coaching day, participants will engage in high-leverage routines and strategies that foster strong letter-sound correspondence, accelerate letter learning, and build foundational skills measured on statewide literacy screeners in 4K and 5K.

Objectives

  • Have a clear, actionable plan for implementation of structured letter learning that is responsive to student data.
  • Integrate local resources that bridges 4K to 5K,
  • Identify local proficiencies for 4K letter learning,
  • Support both effective early literacy development and improved literacy screener outcomes.
