SUMMARY:4 Day Multisensory Reading Instruction: PAF Fall 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Multisensory Reading Instruction: PAF Reading Program is a systematic\, structured program for teaching reading\, spelling\, and handwriting. It emphasizes explicit\, multisensory techniques highlighted by the National Reading Panel (2000) and supporting research and incorporates the theories and practices of Orton-Gillingham instruction. This program is applicable for all students when started in the early elementary grades and as an intervention program for struggling readers. \nKey Learning Objectives:  \n\nUnderstand the current research on the instructional methodologies that supports reading development.\nLearn a comprehensive instructional sequence that teaches a systematic approach to word reading\, spelling\, fluency\, and comprehension.\nPractice planning daily lessons incorporating PAF strategies and resources\nIncorporate curriculum-based assessments to evaluate student progress and plan for instruction.\n\nThe PAF Reading Program manual is included and will be shipped directly to participants.\nInstructor: Alison Leveque\, PhD\nDates: Thursdays\, Oct 8\, 15\, 22\, 29\, 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. EST\nGrades: K- 5\nPrice: $675.00 (PAF manuals included)\nCredits: NYCTLE hours: 16 \n\nRegister by September 24 to lock in the price above.\n\n\nRegistrations after September 24 will incur an additional fee of $25.00 for expedited handling and shipping of materials

SUMMARY:Graphic Organizers to Boost Reading\, Writing and Vocabulary
DESCRIPTION:Graphic organizers are powerful tools that help students organize ideas\, uncover connections\, and tackle complex concepts with confidence. In this workshop\, participants learn how to use visual frameworks\, such as story maps\, vocabulary grids\, concept webs\, and semantic maps\, to make abstract ideas concrete and accessible. Through hands-on activities\, discover practical techniques to scaffold instruction\, boost engagement\, and foster independent thinking. Leave with a ready-to-use collection of graphic organizers.  \nKey Learning Objectives     \n\nUnderstand the role of graphic organizers in literacy to support comprehension\, critical thinking\, and writing development.  \n\n\nLearn how to use story maps\, vocabulary frameworks\, concept and semantic maps to enhance student learning. \n\n\nDiscover practical strategies for using these tools to implement in all aspects of your literacy lesson: before\, during and after instruction.  \n\n\nGain techniques to make abstract concepts accessible and promote independence for diverse learners. \n\nDate: Thursday\, Oct. 22\, 4:30 pm- 6:00 pm. EST  \nInstructors: Alison Leveque\, PhD and Alicia Kempin\, MS  \nGrades: 2 – 8 \nPrice: $  90   \nCredentials: 1.5 Approved CTLE Hours
