How the Literacy Launch Works

Formulated for all grade levels and supported by teacher resources and dynamic instructional materials for 2-8 educators, the Literacy Launch helps every reading experience become a prewriting experience – and vice-versa – in all content areas. When filtered through our proven methodology, the progression of the Literacy Launch creates a powerful learning arc to help students:

• Apply awareness and analytical skills to written expression for the ability to annotate and analyze any text across their learning

• Develop a clear connection between the foundational reading skills needed to generate writing and to respond effectively to text, either through a constructed response or literary analysis

• Gain a deeper comprehension of text that strengthens their own writing and strategic reading abilities

You will leave empowered to :

 • Utilize text in all content areas

• Discuss genre and author’s purpose with every text experience

• Showcase how the author uses the graphic organizers

• Summarize text using the summarizing frameworks

 • Identify the salient features of each genre

• Build a common language with students for more productive conversations

• Be better able to offer specific feedback to improve student writing

• Teach the foundational understanding necessary for any writing task

 • Develop the ability to read with “author’s eyes”

• Make every reading experience a prewriting experience
