FREE Online Learning Event: Putting the Language Literacy Network into Practice We'll begin with a brief overview of the #Language #Literacy Network and examination of its similarities and differences with the #ReadingRope and #ActiveViewofReading. From there, you’ll observe and practice a variety of instructional activities that demonstrate many practical applications of The Language Literacy Network – ones that you can immediately use with your students to build their language literacy skills. You’ll leave with new insights for tweaking your current teaching practices to simultaneously develop multiple #reading, #writing, #speaking, and #listening skills more effectively and ideas for how to use Open-Source AI to quickly create the word lists and reading passages needed for the types of activities demonstrated in this webinar.
