students to construct meaning through discussion, 
reflection, and evidence-based thinking. 
Educators will leave with practical strategies, planning 
tools, and instructional frameworks for implementing 
high-impact read-alouds that make learning visible 
and accessible for all students. These practices will 
support diverse learners, increase access to grade-
level content, and foster the knowledge, vocabulary, 
and comprehension skills necessary for long-term 
literacy success.

Stop sacrificing instructional time to isolated grammar 
drills that don’t stick. Discover embedded syntax 
instruction that drives student success. If your 
students decode words but struggle to unlock 
meaning or write with variety, this session is for you. 
Tailored for grades 1–5 teachers, coaches, and 
leaders, this interactive workshop moves past rote 
"parts of speech" to unleash the functional power of 
syntax. Learn to transform grammar from a dry chore 
into an active tool that builds deep thinkers and skilled 
writers. We will explore high-impact, "short-burst" 
routines—such as sentence kernels and 
deconstruction—that integrate into your existing 
literacy block. Join us to walk away with practical, 
evidence-based "small moves" that give every student 
command of the printed word, one sentence at a time.
