Phonological awareness practices can be incorporated throughout the daily routine with ease. With intentional planning, early childhood educators can help to enhance children’s phonological awareness skills while playing with sounds inside words. During this session participants will experience multiple activities and strategies that will move children along the phonological awareness continuum.

When young children engage with culturally relevant texts, they can advance their Academic success in literacy, experience a sense of Belonging in classrooms, and engage in Criticality as a classroom community that embraces diversity and inclusion while simultaneously engaging in social justice work. Considering traditional foundational literacy instruction does not build with Black and Brown children’s racial and ethnic identities, home languages, and lived experiences as strengths in the classroom, Lawson’s emerging scholarship and teaching pedagogy support educators with incorporating culturally relevant texts throughout foundational literacy instruction in K-2. Lawson incorporates children’s identities, lived experiences, home languages, and targeted phonics features by designing student-generated decodable readers co-authored by children to advance their decoding skills. By using culturally relevant texts to cultivate these ABCs in early childhood classrooms, children can experience culturally responsive education that affirms their identities and lived experiences, supports their understanding of their peers’ identities and cultures, deepens their understanding of societal injustices, and advances their literacy development in meaningful, inclusive, and equitable ways.The target audience for this workshop is K-2 teachers and instructional specialists. Please contact Dr. Rosalyn Shahid (ShahidR@resa.net) for details.
