Register for our webinar: Long Story Short—Balancing Literacy Skills and Sustained Reading
How do we balance essential literacy skill development with the deep thinking that only longer texts can cultivate? Join English and Education professor and instructional coach Dr. Brandon Abdon and his guest, Ms. Jennifer Abramson—longtime ELA Coordinator and now Supervisor in the Austin (TX) Schools Office of Academics—for this FREE webinar designed for grade 6-12 ELA teachers. Together, they will explore practical strategies for integrating foundational reading and writing skills into sustained engagement with novels, memoirs, and other extended works, including the power of choice reading to build investment and volume. Learn how to help students transfer those essential literacy skills into longer texts and how those texts, in turn, strengthen stamina, deepen comprehension, and cultivate critical thinking. Walk away with classroom-ready approaches that honor both skill-building and rich textual study.
