The path to proficiency starts long before the screener. This comprehensive professional learning experience, designed for our earliest learners in 4K, focuses on strengthening early literacy instruction through intentional letter learning cycles that support success on literacy screeners. Over the course of three in-person learning days and one personalized coaching day, participants will engage in high-leverage routines and strategies that foster strong letter-sound correspondence, accelerate letter learning, and build foundational skills measured on statewide literacy screeners in 4K and 5K.
OBJECTIVES
- Have a clear, actionable plan for implementation of structured letter learning that is responsive to student data.

WHAT OUR 4K LITERACY ACADEMY PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING:
"Finally, a sustained, collaborative, job-embedded, and classroom-focused PD made JUST for 4K educators! Not only were we learning vital instructional strategies to help our earliest learners thrive, we were also able to connect as a 4K community all year. This is something that really hasnโt been made available until now."
~ Wautoma Area School District Participant
"This has been one of the most useful, relevant, responsive, and meaningful PD experiences I have participated in while teaching 4K! It is best summed up as a โ4K all inclusive experience!โ The content was perfectly tailored to 4K standards, the information shared was easy to understand and was perfectly balanced between time to work, time to reflect, and time to connect with other 4K teachers. If you teach 4K you know how frustrating it can be to not fit into usual PD sessions, but this pathway is a real game changer for 4K professionals!"
~ Weyauwega-Fremont School District Participant
