SUMMARY:Virtual Coffee Chat With Andria Slipp
DESCRIPTION:“Linking Reading Comprehension and Executive Function: A Pathway to Improved Instruction” \nRegister now!Session Description:\nStudents with comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and specific learning disorder in reading (SLD-R) require reading comprehension instruction that is mindful of executive function deficit. Grounded in the notion that remediation is most successful when it is based on an understanding of the possible sources of failure\, this presentation examines the interplay between executive function and reading comprehension and explores how reading comprehension instruction might integrate executive function support for students with ADHD and SLD-R. This proposed instructional framework integrates executive functions into the reading comprehension process. A lack of consensus with regard to how executive functions are identified\, defined\, and measured indicates avenues for future research. These findings are hoped to provide insight to teachers\, administrators\, curriculum developers\, and those who provide teacher professional development. \nAndria Slipp is the Head of Literacy\, Admissions Officer\, and senior high teacher at Rundle Academy\, an independent day school in Calgary\, Alberta which specializes in supporting students with Learning Disabilities. Her areas of professional interest include structured literacy for older students (grades 4-12)\, writing interventions\, ADHD\, and educational leadership. Away from the school setting\, Andria enjoys experiencing the world through travel\, exploring the Rocky Mountains in her backyard\, and watching her teenage children grow into amazing people.

SUMMARY:Louisiana K-3 Literacy State Standards Study: A 4-Part Series; Session 4: Third Grade
DESCRIPTION:A Standards Study: K-12 Student Standards for English Language Arts \nLouisiana has made great strides to support the literacy foundation necessary to ensure students’ success. In the development of the K-12 ELA Student Standards\, “educators envisioned what proficient students should know and be able to do to compete in our society and focused their efforts on creating standards that would allow them to do so. The goal of the Louisiana Student Standards for English Language Arts (ELA) is to produce a literate person in the twenty-first century.”\n\n\nThis 4-part series will review and revisit the standards for ELA content for Kindergarten through Third Grade to ensure parents\, teachers\, administrators\, and other stakeholders are aware of the connection and logic across grade bands in an effort to support literacy instruction based on the science of reading. Join The Reading League Louisiana for a discussion as we explore the Louisiana K-3 ELA Student Standards and continue to be fully aware of the literacy learning continuum and expectations of our students.\n\n\nTo join the session\, please become a member of The Reading League Louisiana and a Zoom registration link will be emailed to you. Please note this will be an open discussion\, please review the standards document ahead of the session.

SUMMARY:10 Success Factors to Leading Literacy Improvement
DESCRIPTION:Susan Hall\nAre you seeking ideas on how to move the needle on reading achievement scores? Although most schools differentiate instruction\, many are not experiencing the gains in scores they expected. Come hear about the 10 most important factors present in schools that are improving literacy student outcomes. Leaders in these schools have systematized the way they identify and address the needs of struggling readers. This presentation will be based on Dr. Hall’s book 10 Success Factors for Literacy Interventions (ASCD). \n$15 Non-Members\nFree for Members \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Teaching Comprehension with a Culturally Responsive Lens
DESCRIPTION:Mitchell Brookins\nEngagement\, relevance\, and rigor are critical elements of creating academic success in today’s classrooms. Teachers are tasked with how to hone students’ literacy skills while also making them critically aware of the world-at-large. In this session\, participants will learn the importance of providing explicit comprehension instruction in syntax and text structure and how that deepens students’ understanding of grade-level\, complex texts. Also\, participants will learn the tenants of culturally relevant pedagogy. In this session\, the intersection between culturally relevant pedagogy and explicit comprehension instruction will be used as lens for instructional planning and the creation of learning tasks. It is through this intersection that we will explore how to create literacy experiences that collectively empower and equip our students to navigate and transform an increasingly\, complex world. \n  \nMitchell Brookins has taught on the Southside of Chicago\, been a district leader of RtI and literacy in Chicago Public Schools and served as a school administrator in Chicago Public Schools and New Orleans for the past seven years. \nMitchell’s instructional leadership as a school administrator has yielded the following results: 19-point growth in the School Performance Score\, which moved ReNEW Cultural Arts Academy from a “D” to a “C” in one year\, an average of 16% growth in Reading over two years at ARISE Academy\, and finally\, Dwight Eisenhower’s School Performance Score increased by 12 points which resulted in the school’s letter grade moving from a “D” to a “C” in one year. \nMitchell has a B.A. in Elementary Education\, a M.A. in Teacher Leadership\, and is currently working on his dissertation to attain a Ph.D. in Educational Administration at the University of New Orleans.

SUMMARY:HELP! Why Do My Students Spell Words That Way?
DESCRIPTION:Attention all elementary education writing teachers. It’s time to scrub in and diagnose writing errors in your youngest learners. Spelling is a developmental process (Gentry\, 1982) and once you understand a student’s inventive spelling\, we can use that information to get a glimpse into how the brain is thinking and better guide our instruction. \nAlana Mangham\, The Reading League Louisiana’s Vice President\, will explore research\, student samples\, and techniques that educators can use when diagnosing spelling errors and creating the next steps in writing support.

SUMMARY:The Science of Reading and Teacher Daily Practices - Susan Connick
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will define the Science of Reading and dig a bit into how the reading brain works. In understanding how the brain reacts to the process of reading\, we will discuss the critical components of reading instruction. Evidence-based practices and instructional methods will be discussed. As an educator\, I am constantly seeking out best-practices in reading instruction. However\, I constantly find researchers and theorists that offer incredible concepts; yet\, do not explain how those ideas manifest in the classroom. While the subject is broad\, I hope to share real examples that I have seen work with students. Real classroom resources will be shared that connect to each of the pillars of reading instruction.

SUMMARY:Dyslexia Amidst the Science of Reading
DESCRIPTION:Join The Reading League Louisiana\, in collaboration with the Center for Development and Learning and Decoding Dyslexia Louisiana\, for this live webinar. \nBased on the 2019 NAEP scores\, only 26% of Louisiana’s fourth-graders were considered proficient readers. The evidence is clear that everyone can learn to read through a structured literacy approach based in the science of reading. \nDeJunne’ Clark Jackson and Alana Mangham will lead the discussion about the science of reading with evidence-based reading instruction\, structured literacy\, and the importance of these foundational practices in dyslexia identification with struggling readers.

SUMMARY:An Invitation to Meet The Reading League Louisiana
DESCRIPTION:On September 10\, 2020\, Laura Stewart\, National Director of The Reading League\, presented on the science of reading during a virtual webinar\, An Invitation to Meet The Reading League. The Center for Development and Learning announced the formation of a Louisiana chapter of The Reading League. \nAn abundance of reading research has converged over the past four decades to help us align our instruction with the evidence about how students best learn to read. Unfortunately\, it has not found its way into many classrooms. The Reading League’s mission is to advance the awareness\, understanding\, and use of evidence-aligned reading instruction. \nThis was The Reading League’s first Louisiana event.
