7. Launching Shared Reading Lessons: Stepping Together Shared Reading (Target Audience: K–2)

The Literacy Footprints Stepping Together Shared Reading system is a research-based system designed to support teachers as they help children become better readers within the context of whole-class instruction. During each week of daily lessons, students read an authentic grade level book, write about the book, and engage in lively and systematic phonological awareness and phonics activities. In this session, participants will become familiar with the organization of the Stepping Together lesson framework. They will leave with the confidence to implement the lessons and foster students’ proficiency in reading and writing.
