The presenters will share their approach to contextualized instruction that builds content knowledge and strengthens learner skills in the four components of reading: alphabetics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

This professional development activity/course is designed for:
In this 90-minute webinar, we will show how we incorporate science and social studies themed units into the EBRI/STAR model at our program. We will demonstrate how we plan out each three- or four-week unit to build student's content-area knowledge and reading skills. Participants will receive sample science and social studies curriculum materials, including opener videos to pique student interest, as well as leveled fluency readings, and comprehension work. We will also share leveled alphabetics lessons and show how we carry the theme into our vocabulary groups.
