What We'll Work Through

Four live sessions, plus a few reflection questions to guide your reading in between.

August 26 · Chapters 1 & 2

The Big Picture, and Assessment

Why rethink and revise at all, and what your current assessments actually tell you about your readers. Where to start when you want a clearer picture.

September 2 · Chapter 3

Whole-Class ELA

Study-centered reading, real discussion, and writing that connects back to the text. What this looks like when you only have so many minutes.

September 16 · Chapter 4

Whole-Class Foundational Skills

Looking at your routines with fresh eyes: what to refine, what to replace, and what is already working better than you think.

September 23 · Chapters 5 & 6

Small-Group Reading, and What Comes Next

Rethinking the purpose of small-group time, and how groups get formed when levels are not the organizing idea. Then: how you keep going after the book ends.

Who this is for

K-2 teachers, coaches, and interventionists who are somewhere in the middle of rethinking their literacy instruction. Maybe you have already made a few changes and want to know what comes next. Maybe you have been handed a new curriculum and are trying to figure out what to keep. Either way, you do not need to have read anything ahead of time, and you do not need to have it figured out.

Come with questions. Come with the thing that is not working. That is the whole point.

Brave change is system change.
