Summer Book Club: Next STEPS

After a universal screening assessment, how can K-6 educators translate the results into evidence-based instruction, targeted interventions, and improved reading outcomes?

Join Jordan Sloan to dig deeper into Susan Smartt and Deborah Glaser’s Next STEPS in Literacy Instruction: Connecting Assessment to Effective Interventions.

Together, we will explore each chapter, building around the big five ideas of phoneme awareness, phonics, fluency, reading comprehension, and vocabulary. After a brief introduction to each concept, we will explore assessment options, and strategies for connecting assessment findings to lesson planning. We will discuss tactics, scenarios and planning with educators from across the province, learn how to take action after assessments, and make data-driven decisions to support reading growth for all of our students.

Come prepared to collaborate with other educators in these interactive, discussion-based meetings and to share your insights on the chapter and discuss classroom applications.

Please note that ONlit does not provide copies of the book to participants. The book is available in the Ontario College of Teachers Members’ Library (e-book or physical copy) or for purchase through Caversham Booksellers, Amazon, Indigo, or Brookes Publishing.
