Tuesday June 10, 2025 10:00am - 11:15am PDT
DESERT SKIES ROOM 130 @ 7550 Donatello Dr, Sun Valley, NV 89433
This professional learning session will focus on strategies that educators can use to build background knowledge, a critical strand in Scarborough's Reading Rope, which supports reading comprehension and language proficiency. Teachers will learn how background knowledge helps students make connections to new content, enabling them to decode and understand more complex texts. Participants will explore practical, research-based strategies for activating prior knowledge, making content relevant, and bridging gaps for diverse learners. Through hands-on activities and discussions, teachers will gain tools for integrating background knowledge-building techniques into daily instruction to support students' reading development, comprehension, and overall growth. By the end of the session, educators will have a clear understanding of how to strengthen this essential strand of the Reading Rope to foster student success in literacy. 

We are learning how building background knowledge supports the language and cognitive skills that contribute to reading comprehension so that all students, especially English learners can link prior knowledge to new learning.

Tuesday June 10, 2025 10:00am - 11:15am PDT
DESERT SKIES ROOM 131 @ 7550 Donatello Dr, Sun Valley, NV 89433
Dictation helps students connect sounds to their corresponding written forms. As students hear a word and write it, they practice encoding- translating sounds into letters- which reinforces their understanding of how spoken language is represented in writing.  Word Sorts are a hands-on activity used to help students explore, analyze, and categorize words based on specific patterns, sounds, or meanings. Rather than giving students sorts "at their level", consider focusing on grade level phonics skills. When thinking about word sorts, don't focus on activities that can be done without actually reading the words. Focus on direct instruction of the skill before moving to exploration. Picture sorts are a great way to make sure students are internalizing the patterns and not just matching letters. 
  • Connect Sounds to Written Forms through Dictation: Participants will practice encoding by hearing words and writing them, reinforcing their understanding of how spoken language is represented in writing. 
  • Explore and Categorize Words with Word Sorts: Participants will engage in hands-on activities to explore, analyze, and categorize words based on specific patterns, sounds, or meanings.

Tuesday June 10, 2025 12:35pm - 1:50pm PDT
DESERT SKIES ROOM 130 @ 7550 Donatello Dr, Sun Valley, NV 89433
This professional learning session will focus on strategies that educators can use to build background knowledge, a critical strand in Scarborough's Reading Rope, which supports reading comprehension and language proficiency. Teachers will learn how background knowledge helps students make connections to new content, enabling them to decode and understand more complex texts. Participants will explore practical, research-based strategies for activating prior knowledge, making content relevant, and bridging gaps for diverse learners. Through hands-on activities and discussions, teachers will gain tools for integrating background knowledge-building techniques into daily instruction to support students' reading development, comprehension, and overall growth. By the end of the session, educators will have a clear understanding of how to strengthen this essential strand of the Reading Rope to foster student success in literacy. 

We are learning how building background knowledge supports the language and cognitive skills that contribute to reading comprehension so that all students, especially English learners can link prior knowledge to new learning.

Tuesday June 10, 2025 12:35pm - 1:50pm PDT
DESERT SKIES ROOM 132 @ 7550 Donatello Dr, Sun Valley, NV 89433
Dictation helps students connect sounds to their corresponding written forms. As students hear a word and write it, they practice encoding- translating sounds into letters- which reinforces their understanding of how spoken language is represented in writing.  Word Sorts are a hands-on activity used to help students explore, analyze, and categorize words based on specific patterns, sounds, or meanings. Rather than giving students sorts "at their level", consider focusing on grade level phonics skills. When thinking about word sorts, don't focus on activities that can be done without actually reading the words. Focus on direct instruction of the skill before moving to exploration. Picture sorts are a great way to make sure students are internalizing the patterns and not just matching letters. 
  • Connect Sounds to Written Forms through Dictation: Participants will practice encoding by hearing words and writing them, reinforcing their understanding of how spoken language is represented in writing. 
  • Explore and Categorize Words with Word Sorts: Participants will engage in hands-on activities to explore, analyze, and categorize words based on specific patterns, sounds, or meanings.
