Zaharis Literacy Conference

The Zaharis Literacy Conference in Mesa Arizona was a wonderful experience! I learned how different classrooms can look and feel. The school had some classrooms that felt like a cozy living room. There were books everywhere. I learned how students can be motivated to read and be able to increase their comprehension. I was introduced to sketch journaling. The students have a journal where they can sketch pictures of what is happening in the books they are reading. I could see how excited the students were to show us their journals.  

I will add more to this experience later!
