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

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!
