The workshop will cover:
The foundation of communication through written expression is the basic sentence. This training is designed to give students mastery of sentence structure as well as paragraph development and composition. Sentence structure is presented in a sequential order beginning with the simple sentence and moving to complex sentences using multi sensory strategies to develop the basic concepts and skills of written expression. The curriculum can be started in grade one and is applicable through adult education.

What is Project Read®?
?Project Read® is based on a research driven language arts curriculum that meets the National Reading Panel’s five components of effective reading instruction. Project Read® also offers a 6th component – writing. Designed in 1973, Dr. Mary Lee Enfield and Victoria Greene, Project Read® materials and teaching strategies honor diverse learning profiles and provide curricula with lessons built on direct concept teaching, multisensory processing, systematic instruction and high level thinking skills. Project Read® curricula and instruction create a captivating, respectful and dignified environment for you and your students. Project Read® aligns with the Common Core Standards.

The Florida Center for Reading Research reports:“How is Project Read® aligned with current research?”
Project Read® integrates the five critical components of reading instruction - phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension along with the dimensions of spelling, writing, oral language and listening comprehension within each lesson, an important component of the instruction that is beneficial is the cumulative nature of the scaffold practice embedded in the program. Each instructional routine consistently begins with a review of previously taught skills, and continues with teacher modeling of a new skill or strategy, guided practice and student practice and includes frequent progress monitoring checks to affirm mastery.
