Literacy and Numeracy: Designing Instruction to Improve Student Performance in the K–6 Classroom
July 26–29, 2009 | Washington, D.C.
Academy Handout Information
What does it mean to be literate? Is decoding enough? Are numbers involved? Bring a team from your school or district to the ASCD Summer Academy on Literacy and Numeracy to get the answers to these and other questions. Learn why literacy is about not only recognizing words and numbers but also understanding what the words and numbers mean.
Explore engaging instructional activities that help students build personal understanding, connect with texts, and become literate in the field of numbers. Gain a toolbox of research-based, proven practices, including
- Eight strategies to help students learn and comprehend in any subject area.
- Ways to discern and address the differing needs of students.
- Activities that increase student comprehension.
- Kid-tested, hands-on activities that help students retain what they have learned.
The last day of the academy will be focused on developing lessons and unit plans to implement in your classrooms.

In the interest of the planet, ASCD has gone green. Therefore, we are no longer providing paper handouts for our Summer Academy.
As a registered attendee, you will be able to download handouts for the Summer Academy. The academy handouts are posted for downloading or printing until August 14, 2009.

Prior to attending the Summer Academy, we encourage you to download the handouts to your laptop or print a copy and bring it with you to the academy.
ASCD will not be providing wireless Internet access to the participants on-site, therefore participants will need to download the academy handouts prior to arriving to the academy.
Meeting rooms may not have wireless access and have limited electrical outlets, so be sure your laptops are charged prior to attending the academy each day.
