Literacy Series Part 4 of 4: Supporting English Language Learners

→ Session 4: Supporting English Language Learners

Join us for brunch, fun, and learning at 518 Valencia Street (at 16th)! Walk away with a Spark Deck and other materials you can use right away in your program.

Afterschool and summer programs are truly the perfect place for youth to get excited about literacy! From writing and directing movies; to creating comics, graphic novels, and zines; to curling up in a cozy corner with an exciting audiobook, this cohort will work together to develop participant-centered activities and spaces that encourage authentic literacy development for all youth.

In each session, we will explore a different area of literacy and create a plan for how to encourage and support the growth of this skill for youth within our programs. While all sessions will touch on English Language Learning, our final session will emphasize specific strategies for working with second (or third!) language learners. Join us for this Cohort to get inspired to build up a fun slate of literacy-building tools and tricks for all grade levels.

Goal: In this session, we will specifically look at strategies to support English Language development in second (or third) language learners

Objectives: By the end of this session, participants will:

• Understand the advantages and challenges that English Language Learners may be facing
• Learn and share strategies for specifically supporting English Language Learning within our programs
• Walk away with a plan for how to better support English Language development at our sites

Note that this session will take place at Mission Graduates, 518 Valencia Street (at 16th). 

Parking/Transportation: BART/Muni 16th Street Station; Paid parking lots nearby.
