THE SCIENCE OF READING FOR MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS VIRTUAL TOOLKIT SUPPORT SERIES – TOOLKIT BRIEF #1: EXPANDING THE SCOPE OF READING TO INCLUDE MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS – 8:30-2:30pm

In this workshop, we will spend the first part of the day unpacking the full article of the brief to understand the data and research presented while absorbing the classroom examples, reviewing the conclusion and recommendations, as well as the references and resources so we can work together to reflect and apply the revised instructional practices during the second part of the day.
Participants will work throughout this day long workshop to link practical classroom resources, engage in example teaching and learning activities, and focus on planning and preparation to implement this brief with the following outcomes:
Understand the bilingual brain
List the ontological differences between ELLs, MLs, and monolingual English learners, and how to address these differences in the classroom
How to build background knowledge, provide visuals, and leverage cognates
Make connections to home languages
Focus on helping students acquire vocabulary and background knowledge to make meaning when reading
