Short Texts with Big Impact
Short texts provide powerful teaching opportunities that support a variety of instructional needs, content areas, and reading levels. Some of our favorite classroom texts can take a great deal of instructional time to complete, leaving little time for in-depth discussions and analysis.

In this session, participants will:
- Discover the value of short texts in building literacy.
