In this interactive session, you will learn ways to engage students in reading, spelling, and vocabulary games, both in the classroom and virtually! We will explore ways to help students develop fluency and practice strategic thinking, all while playing a game! You will leave with games to play during whole group, small group, interventions, and in literacy stations or centers. You can also recommend these game formats to parents for practice or homework.

We will explore ways teachers create standards-based learning targets for a unit of study. We discuss the theory of action for creating and using learning targets, including what is and is not, a learning target and the impact on students and teachers.
