About This Workshop

At the heart of effective literacy instruction lies the seamless transfer of phonemic awareness and phonics from isolated practice to meaningful, continuous text. In this session, we’ll explore how to design strategically aligned activities that make this transition purposeful and powerful. Together, we'll examine the impact of using engaging, decodable texts that not only reinforce foundational skills but also spark joy in reading and writing. The ultimate goal: to nurture confident decoders and encoders who see themselves as capable, curious learners—readers and writers who approach the world with wonder, enthusiasm, and a lifelong love of literacy.
