Empower EDU

As literacy evolves, we say YES to both the enduring power of print—books, interactive read-alouds, and time-honored practices—and the possibilities of digital texts, multimodal storytelling, and creative tools that expand thinking and understanding. In this session, Kristin will share thinking strategies to enhance comprehension, communication, and critical thinking across print and digital texts. She’ll provide ready-to-use lessons that personalize learning, build background knowledge, grow vocabulary, and support deeper reading. She’ll show you how to tap students’ natural curiosity with print and digital resources, resulting in learners who are inspired and empowered to develop expansive literacy skills for today’s world.
