Upcoming
Writing as an Integral Part of the Science of Reading
Therese Pickett has served in several roles at Voyager Sopris Learning for more than 18 years. During this time, she has provided professional learning opportunities in literacy and math intervention and supported educators and administrators in their implementations nationwide. Ms. Pickett has led Training the Trainer sessions, which allows interns to become certified to train other staff within their districts. Additionally, she has presented at several conferences about best practices in teaching research-based strategies in writing and literacy skills. Before joining Voyager Sopris Learning, she had positions as a consultant for St. Clair County RESA, a junior high school special education teacher, a high school English and history teacher, and she taught English as a foreign language in Austria.
Writing is the most challenging literacy skill to teach and to learn. Teachers who understand the connection of the science of reading and the reciprocal impact of reading and writing are ready to meet the challenge of teaching this complex skill.
Join us for this fascinating discussion about the symbiotic relationship between learning to read and writing. Our expert, a career educator and writing expert, will share how both reading and writing require systematic, explicit instruction that can and should be an integrated part of daily student life.
All students can benefit from strategic reading and writing strategies that focus on the foundational writing skills from basic to complex sentence writing, an understanding of text structure, paragraph, multiparagraph, and essay writing. Let our expert tell you how!
Our expert will share:
- The connection of writing to the science of reading, based on the Reading Rope
- How the research (by Graham & Herbert, 2011) illustrates how reading and writing support one another and how writing about reading leads to improvements in a student's reading ability
- Why systematic and explicit instruction is critical to build skilled writers
- How writing instruction supports all populations of students—general education, those with IEPs, English learners, gifted and talented, and emergent young scholars
