SUMMARY:Dyslexia and Dyslexic Tendencies: Become Empowered with Brain-Based Small Group Strategies *IN PERSON* facilitated by Deborah Linscott-Feinstein - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Audience: K-6 General and Special Educators\, English/ENL Teachers\, Reading Specialists\, ELA Coaches\, and District Administrators Are you ready to be the best advocate for the 20% of students in your classroom who struggle with dyslexia? Join us for a transformative professional development day designed to build your confidence and your students’ success. This workshop will help you to understand the emotional and neurological reality of the dyslexic brain. You will master sequential\, systematic\, and explicit instruction that doesn’t just manage symptoms but fosters positive brain growth. Simple Phonemic\, Letter-Sound\, Fluency and Syllable-Type Assessments will stop the guesswork in your small groups. We will equip you with simple assessments that allow you to group students immediately and align your instruction to their exact developmental stage. Your data-driven micro-groups and small groups will help you track students’ mastery of skills. What You Will Master: -Articulatory Memory: Use “Vowel Valley” techniques\, mirrors\, and gestures for sounds to help students distinguish mouth positions and firm up sound-symbol relationships. -*Building Neural Pathways: Foster activities that make building connections easier. -The Morphology Advantage: Integrate morphology (prefixes\, bases/roots\, and suffixes) into your daily lessons to help students decode and spell complex words. -Bridging the Gap between Decoding and Meaning: Master “High-Leverage Thinking Moves\,” (Burkins and Yates) such as activating prior knowledge\, noticing structures\, and summarizing core ideas. These will be paired with systematic comprehension techniques\, including visualization\, text notations for self-monitoring\, mapping texts with graphic tools\, and summarizing. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19DF8XBBUfz6m_2uNnFXqq_nZj6pl80le/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5393325

SUMMARY:Read Like a Detective: Science‑of‑Reading Moves for Deep Comprehension *IN PERSON* facilitated by Lauren Kolbeck Szulc and Deborah Linscott-Feinstein - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Audience: Classroom teachers grades 2-8\, reading teachers\, literacy coaches\, ELL teachers and administrators This high‑energy workshop immerses grade 2-8 literacy and content‑area educators in Science‑of‑Reading‑aligned practices that make close reading a powerful engine for comprehension. Through an interactive model lesson\, participants will see how detective‑style reading\, purposeful annotation\, strategic rereads\, and attention to sentence structure help students make sense of complex texts. The session highlights how understanding syntax-how sentences are built-supports meaning-making\, knowledge building\, and vocabulary growth. Educators leave with practical routines that make close reading engaging\, doable\, and instructionally rich across subjects. Using one complex text as the anchor\, the session models how to guide students through evidence gathering\, sentence‑level analysis\, and increasingly sophisticated interpretation. -Active\, detective‑style reading with a pen to slow down\, notice details\, and externalize thinking -Rereading with new lenses (gist\, structure\, craft\, meaning) to deepen understanding -Sentence‑level comprehension to unpack syntax\, clarify meaning\, and support complex‑text access -Science‑of‑Reading‑aligned use of complex texts to build knowledge\, vocabulary\, and language comprehension Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit.

SUMMARY:Demystifying the NYS ELA: Brain-Friendly Multiple-Choice Strategies for Grades 3-8 *IN PERSON* facilitated Deborah Linscott-Feinstein - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Audience: administrators\, literacy coaches\, reading teachers\, grades 3-8 ENL\, general and special education Teachers Are your students struggling with the complex multiple-choice questions on the NYS ELA exams? Success on these assessments require a tremendous amount of executive function\, organization\, and close reading. Join our comprehensive seminar designed to equip Grades 3-8 educators with brain-friendly\, strategic test-prep practices that treat the state test as an authentic “transfer genre” that moves beyond rote practice. We will dive deep into the composition of NYS test questions and explore how to organize your instruction to build student stamina and confidence without causing frustration. You will leave with hands-on tools to demystify tricky question stems and empower your students to navigate reading passages effectively. Actionable Takeaways: -Practice Close Reading in the Main Genres: After demonstrations\, participants discuss close-reads on newly released passages at their own grade levels. -Multiple-Choice Protocols: Teach students to read the question\, underline key words\, “say it back” in their own words\, answer it from their head first\, and read all choices before picking the best one. Tap into genres already taught to map expected parts of passages. -Navigate Tricky Answer Choices: Help students spot the deceptive half-true/half-false answers prevalent on the NYS ELA. Learn strategies to determine which students benefit most from fully marking up their texts\, and which benefit more from just accumulating text by asking simple metacognitive questions. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit.

SUMMARY:Small Group Instruction for Students on the Dyslexia Spectrum *IN PERSON* facilitated by Deborah Linscott-Feinstein - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Audience: Grades K-6 general education teachers; reading teachers; special educators; ELA coaches; ELA\, ENL and Special Education directors; building and district administrators. Join us for a day to build your knowledge and confidence when teaching dyslexic children. According to the International Dyslexia Association\, perhaps as many as 20-25% of students have some of the symptoms of dyslexia\, including slow or inaccurate reading\, poor spelling\, poor writing\, weak comprehension\, or mixing up similar words. Let’s focus on small group instruction for mild\, moderate and severe dyslexics. Targets include: -understanding the brain of the dyslexic -sequential\, systematic\, explicit phonemic and phonics instruction -comprehension strategies that succeed -writing strategies to accommodate dyslexics -morphology as part of learning to read and spell -the use of articulatory memory and gestures for sounds and vocabulary -specific strategies for overlearning across texts within knowledge-building units This day will yield abundant practical small-group strategies for immediate implementation in your class\, school or district. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit.

DESCRIPTION:Audience: Classroom teachers grades 1-6\, reading teachers\, literacy coaches\, ELL teachers and administrators Unlock the research‑backed principles of effective writing instruction in this focused workshop designed for K-6 educators. Grounded in the latest literacy science-and informed by key practices drawn from The Writing Revolution and The Writing Rope-this session equips you with powerful\, practical strategies for planning and teaching writing units that truly engage young writers. You’ll explore the essential components of high‑quality writing instruction\, examining how foundational skills such as transcription\, handwriting\, and spelling support higher‑level abilities like sentence construction\, paragraph development\, and genre structures. Throughout the day\, you’ll engage in hands‑on activities and guided practice that demonstrate how systematic\, explicit instruction strengthens both linguistic and cognitive skills. You’ll learn how intentional scaffolds and carefully sequenced tasks can reduce cognitive load\, enabling students to focus on the right skills at the right time and experience greater success. The workshop also highlights how to embed recursive opportunities into your yearlong writing plan so students revisit and deepen key skills over time. By the end of the session\, you’ll walk away with actionable tools you can immediately apply to support confident\, capable writers Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ha8bbArQRDG5LVmj-o5WelNnJgG1n5J1/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5393028
