Summer Institute on Reading, Writing, and Cultural Connections

In this weeklong institute, teachers of young children reframe their reading and writing practices in light of new research trends. With emphasis on the teacher as learner, teachers read, discuss, and demonstrate new ideas as well as critique model lessons. The Institute addresses  

•  Cutting edge research on early literacy and writing;

•  The uses of storytelling, dictation, and dramatization;

•  Effective ways to teach alphabet and print knowledge and phonological awareness;

•  The ways cultural and gender differences affect learning to read and write.
