Hi friend,
You shouldn't have to spend your weekend building an alphabet PD from scratch. This Alphabet Make & Take Workshop does the heavy lifting for you.
This ready-to-run slide deck gives you everything you need to lead a research-backed, engaging PD session on effective alphabet instruction. Just open it, and click Present.
What's inside:
The research behind effective alphabet instruction and why it matters for reading
Best practices for teaching letter names, letter sounds, and letter formation
Practical classroom strategies teachers can implement immediately
Interactive activities that make alphabet learning engaging and meaningful
Reflection prompts and printable handouts
Curated articles, videos, and additional resources for continued learning
Ready-to-use "Make & Take" activities teachers can create and bring straight back to their classrooms
Who this is for:
Literacy coaches, reading specialists, instructional coaches, teacher leaders, and administrators who want to provide high-quality professional learning on alphabet instruction without starting from scratch.
This workshop is also included in the Literacy Coaching Hub - a growing library of Make & Take workshops, coaching resources, and ready-to-use PD materials that expands every time I add something new. One investment, an ever-growing toolkit.
I hope this saves you time, builds teacher confidence, and makes your next PD one your teachers will actually enjoy.
