AM - 1: Running Records as the Ultimate Tool
In this session, we will examine records noticing how the student initiates literacy processing, finding evidence of their inner control. From this sensitive analysis, we will design instructional emphases with the goal of drawing a new way of working into the child’s repertoire.
Presenters: Jennifer Flight, Literacy Consultant Manitoba Education Reading Recovery Trainer CIRR Western Region and Dr. Allyson Matczuk
AM - 2: Indigenous Literacy Responsiveness
This session will address aspects of literacy through a lens of indigeneity with understandings pertaining to context, nonverbal cues, silences/pauses, along with subconscious knowledge. This workshop session is reflected within Indigenous sources of information (msv) to support the path to literacy learning.
Presenter: Gloria D. Sinclair
AM - 3: Responding to Multi-Lingual Learners: Revealing Strengths
Join us as we honor the diverse strengths of multi-lingual Ukrainian newcomer learners in order to respond effectively. Using a language learning lens, we can observe for and respond to children's prior history of learning opportunities and extend the literate path for these children.
Presenter: Jennifer Chetyrbok, Teacher Dauphin Manitoba and Tracy Genik, Reading Recovery Teacher Leader MVSD
AM - 4: Innovative Projects in Response to Student Needs
This session will give participants an opportunity to circulate around in 15-minute time slots to a variety of inquiry-based, responsive teaching-based projects led by various presenters. This session will provide a smorgasbord of ideas and inspirations.
Facilitator: Helen Proulx, Reading Recovery Teacher Leader SJASD

Keynote PM 2: Creating a Community of Support: Transfer and Transitions for Students
Moving between supplementary support in individual or small group settings and the classroom context can be challenging for our most vulnerable students. How can we ensure smooth transition and maximize the transfer of newly learned literacy processes into multiple contexts? How can we ensure students have a sense of security on a day-to-day basis and after supplementary support ends? Collaboration, cohesion, cooperation and caring!
