Pasco School District Mini Bilingual Conference
Engaging English Learners through Reading
and Home-School Connections
This interactive session demonstrates the role of cultural
and linguistic factors in the development of literacy skills and academic
language for English Learners. In
addition to exploring the process of decoding texts (from the sentence level to
the narrative level), participants learn how to use a sociocultural
approach to diagnose and address student difficulties with reading in classroom
contexts. This workshop provides a
variety of strategies for integrating home/community literacy practices into
the classroom as a way to increase student engagement and motivation.
