This interactive event will provide the K-12 literacy community with an opportunity to meet and talk with Jane Braunger and Jan Lewis, authors of Building a Knowledge Base in Reading, 2nd Edition (IRA and NCTE, 2006). Participants will deepen their knowledge of the latest research on literacy teaching and learning, with an emphasis on reading as a process, the teaching of reading, and professional development to support literacy learning throughout the school years. Through a collaborative exploration of 13 research-based core understandings about reading, participants will wrestle with dilemmas of practice and exchange ideas about research that supports literacy instruction. Literacy in the content areas will also be discussed, with Reading Apprenticeship® serving as an example of a research-based framework for content-area literacy instruction.
