Emergent Literacy Instruction with Reading Avenue

Description

It is essential that all students have access to comprehensive literacy instruction, but many professionals struggle in providing this for emergent readers. In this course, participants will learn the components of comprehensive emergent literacy instruction and how to implement literacy instruction through Reading Avenue, a curriculum designed to teach emergent literacy. Participants will also learn how to use Boardmaker to extend literacy learning for emergent and conventional readers.
