Literacy Retreat 2025 - Elementary

It’s time for students to share what they have read. Suzy will model strategies that are hands-on and collaborative…but bring the structure students need. Student autonomy, authentic learning, and independent thinking all await with these techniques. Participants will leave with a selection of techniques to be deployed for a variety of texts.

In this fast-paced, hands-on session, Suzy will model pre-reading strategies that yield maximum, authentic engagement. A plethora of impactful strategies that ignite intellectual curiosity, purpose, and just enough prior knowledge will get students saying, “Can we read now?” Designed for next-day implementation, participants will leave with easily implementable techniques to motivate students to read, read, read.
