Literacy Retreat 2025 - Elementary

Everything we read is a mentor text! See how to seamlessly connect powerful reading instructional strategies with writing response, author’s craft, and grammar lessons in ways that are engaging, meaningful, and productive. We’ll model three reading strategies (including one for pre-teaching vocabulary); imitate amazing texts; and practice inferencing, summarizing, and responding – using students’ own writing! What does this mean? STAAR is a walk in the park. And reading and writing are fun again.
