10/24/2019PLEASE JOIN US
Please join us for this complimentary Lunch and Learn to hear about
Irene Fountas and Gay Su Pinnell's research around what it takes
to develop literate members of today's society. Lunch will be served.Every child has the right to grow up literate as a member of a dynamic learning community that values the richness of linguistic, ethnic, and cultural diversity. This occurs in a classroom community of readers and writers, where children are reading, thinking about, talking about and writing about a wide range of beautiful, engaging texts; where children's curiosity drives authentic inquiry that builds a deep understanding of their world; and where all parts of the literacy curriculum are thoughtfully connected to best support the learning needs of each individual child. At this event you will learn about what a coherent system of literacy instruction looks like, why it's important, and how to implement in every classroom.
