How Writing Instruction Can Revolutionize Education

Wednesday June 11, 2025 8:45am - 9:45am MDT

Main Ballroom

Introduction:
Writing is a potentially powerful lever for deepening knowledge, improving reading comprehension and analytical thinking, and enabling all students to access grade-level material. But it’s also the most difficult thing we ask students to do. To unlock the power of writing instruction, we need to: (1) make writing less overwhelming by starting at the sentence level if that’s what students need; (2) teach grammar and writing conventions in the context of students’ own writing; and (3) embed writing activities in the content of the core curriculum—in any subject and at any grade level. This presentation will provide examples of effective activities.
Explain how writing can serve as a catalyst for improving reading comprehension, analytical thinking, and access to grade-level content across subjects.

Objectives

Describe the importance of starting writing instruction at the sentence level to reduce cognitive overload and build confidence.
Demonstrate how to teach grammar and writing conventions in the context of students’ own writing, rather than in isolation.
Identify ways to embed purposeful writing tasks within core content areas to support deeper learning at all grade levels.
Apply practical examples of writing activities that can be implemented immediately in classrooms to support student growth.

Bilingual Education in the US: Past, Present, and Future

Wednesday June 11, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am MDT

Salon 3 & 4

Introduction:

Most people do not know that bilingual education has been part of the educational landscape for virtually all of our nation’s history--actually, since before it was a nation. This presentation will review this history; present the current state of knowledge for short-term (i.e., transitional) and long-term (developmental or dual-language) bilingual education; discuss some of the limitations and challenges the research reveals; and provide suggestions for future directions, which must include promoting the value of bilingualism and biliteracy for all, not just English Learners, and improving the literacy pedagogy typically used in bilingual education programs.

Objectives:

Summarize the historical roots and evolution of bilingual education in the United States.
Differentiate between short-term (transitional) and long-term (developmental/dual-language) bilingual education models and their outcomes.
Identify key findings from research on the effectiveness, challenges, and limitations of various bilingual education approaches.
Explain why promoting bilingualism and biliteracy benefits all students—not just English Learners.
Recommend ways to strengthen literacy pedagogy within bilingual education programs to align with current evidence and improve student outcomes.

How to Get Started with Morphology

Wednesday June 11, 2025 11:15am - 12:15pm MDT

Salon 3 & 4

Introduction:

If English spelling feels like a mess of rules and exceptions, this session is here to change your mind. Morphology—the study of word parts like bases, prefixes, and suffixes—reveals the logic behind spelling that phonics alone can’t explain. This isn’t just for older students or advanced readers. From the earliest grades on, morphology helps students understand why words are spelled the way they are. You’ll explore key principles, learn how to use word sums and matrices, and walk away with tools that bring meaning and structure to spelling for every grade level.

Objectives:

Explain the role of morphology in making sense of English spelling beyond phonics instruction.
Identify key morphological components, including bases, prefixes, and suffixes, and how they contribute to word meaning and structure.
Demonstrate how to construct and use word sums and matrices to support students' understanding of spelling patterns.
Recognize the value of introducing morphological instruction starting in the early grades.
Apply practical strategies and tools to integrate morphology into classroom instruction across all grade levels.

Multisensory Methods for Establishing the Alphabetic Principle in PreK-1

Wednesday June 11, 2025 11:15am - 12:15pm MDT

Timber

What do phonemic awareness and letter knowledge have in common? They both contribute to the development of the alphabetic principle. Children's reading development depends on their understanding of this important principle – the idea that letters and letter patterns represent the sounds of spoken language. This fundamental knowledge and integration of phonemes and graphemes prepares children for reading and spelling. Utilizing key findings from research, educators will build on this understanding and leave with practical tools aligned to structured literacy principles to embed multisensory instruction of letter names, shapes, and sounds into their daily instruction.

Objectives:
• Define the alphabetic principle
• Discuss considerations for integrating phonemic awareness and letter/sound instruction early on to promote reading • Discuss the importance of letter name accuracy and automaticity
• Identify iconic and non-iconic letters
• Discuss the benefits of teaching letter formation using a continuous stroke and how explicit instruction helps children anchor letter names into memory

Building Capacity for Early Literacy Leadership

Wednesday June 11, 2025 1:15pm - 2:15pm MDT

Salon 2

Introduction:
When it comes to early literacy, we focus a lot of our time, energy, and resources on professional learning and coaching teachers, and our teachers deserve it! However, we don't always consider the professional growth needs of our school leaders, who are key players in student literacy learning. In this session, participants will learn the key instructional leadership practices necessary for district leaders, principals/assistant principals, and coaches to effectively support teachers in delivering research-based early literacy instruction driven by high-quality instructional materials. Participants will hear video testimonials from school leaders who have participated in targeted early literacy leadership training, gain helpful tools & resources for literacy leadership (including free professional learning modules focused on the science of reading), and reflect on their literacy leadership practices. The session will be presented by SchoolKit, a national professional learning partner organization that has worked with 10+ states and over 80 districts to help them increase the quality of literacy instruction.

Objectives:
Understand and reflect on specific instructional leadership moves that leaders can make to strengthen early literacy instruction.
