The Science of Reading: Strengthening Writing Through Phonemic Awareness, Phoneme-Grapheme Connections, and Orthographic Mapping *IN PERSON* Presented by: Lauren Kolbeck & Debbie Linscott-Feinstein-8:30-2:30pm

Grounded in the principles of the Science of Reading, this session explores the essential role of phonemic awareness and phoneme-grapheme correspondence in the development of proficient reading and writing. Participants will examine evidence-based instructional practices that emphasize segmenting syllables and phonemes and explicitly linking sounds to their written representations to support accurate spelling and fluent writing. The workshop highlights how these foundational skills facilitate orthographic mapping, the cognitive process through which readers store words for automatic recognition and retrieval. By connecting current research to classroom application, educators will deepen their understanding of how systematic instruction in phonological and orthographic processing strengthens the reciprocal relationship between decoding and encoding, ultimately advancing students’ literacy outcomes.Audience: K-3 classroom teachers, literacy specialists, and interventionistsEligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1-1/2 Consortium seats. If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.
