01:30 pm - 03:00 pm "He Knew It Yesterday!"
Reading Recovery
Revisit Marie Clay’s detailed and precisely sequenced teaching procedures used to support learning more about the reciprocal relationship between words written and words read leading to independent strategic readers and writers.
Is the problem retaining learning and retrieving it, or has the learning never been securely encoded in the brain? Examples focus on section 19, “When it is Hard to Remember.”

Matching Strategic Activity and Word Work Across a Lesson
Reading Recovery
An analysis of running records and the first reading of the new book to plan word work are the focus. Includes an overview of how words work and what makes visual analysis easy and hard for children. Children’s “processing profiles” guide the participants to create a plan of action for the word work part of the lesson. Participants should bring Literacy Lessons Designed for Individuals.

Providing Opportunities Through Understanding and Prompting
Reading Recovery
Explore session interactions between teachers and students. Each day during each lesson, a teacher uses what she/he knows about early readers to understand what behavior/processing the child is demonstrating and then how to teach/prompt. Increase your background knowledge in terms of possibilities of what children do, what it means, and how to best teach/prompt.
