Katrina Davino is a literacy consultant and co-founder of Daffodil Hill Press, an independent publisher and literacy collaborative. A former New York City public school teacher, Katrina works in schools across the country to bring research-based practices into joyful, impactful literacy instruction.

Description

In this workshop, presenters will lead participants through the key research around decodable texts and their power for the earliest readers—including typically developing students as well as those with difficulty learning to read. Participants will learn about how decodable texts fit with high-impact instructional practices, including the time in children’s reading development when decodable texts are most beneficial (and when they’re not!). In addition to learning replicable, practical ways to use decodable texts alongside any core phonics or reading curriculum, participants will leave with a clear understanding of the difference between leveled and decodable texts, how to evaluate decodable texts, and how to use decodable texts in assessment-based instruction.
