This session focuses on building writing capacity through a structured, scaffolded approach that deepens both composition skills and reading comprehension. Participants will explore how sentence-level and paragraph-level instruction supports students in analyzing texts, organizing ideas, and expressing thinking clearly. Emphasis will be placed on writing across content areas — including ELA, science, social studies, and math — so students learn to write as a way of learning. Educators will leave with ready-to- use strategies, content-aligned writing routines, and a practical framework to move students from early writing development to confident, structured mastery.

Participants will examine how these strands intersect to support students’ language development and reading proficiency across grade levels. While Structured Literacy is often associated with early elementary instruction, this course emphasizes that its principles benefit all learners—not just students in grades K–3. Through practical strategies, modeling, and collaborative analysis, educators will learn how to apply structured, explicit, and systematic practices that strengthen decoding, language comprehension, and written expression.
