Promoting Language & Literacy Skills with Picture Books
Learn critical language and literacy skills that are supported by the Science of Reading.
Using a structured literacy approach, mini-lessons and extension activities this webinar will enable participants to engage and motivate their learners. We'll target learner outcomes through play, multi-sensory activities, and an increase in critical instructional practices.
Workshop Description
In this workshop, we will walk through critical components that need to be explicitly taught to build reading and spelling skills. I will share 50+ picture books and extension activities that can be used as mentor texts. They can be used with students in any grade to model wordplay, spelling rules, and specific phonics patterns. Participants will have a curated list of picture books and examples of multi-sensory activities and teaching points for each book.

Hanna Stroud
Founder of My Literacy Space
I own a tutoring and consulting company where I help develop key language and literacy skills in young children.
Through my years of experience I’ve developed engaging activities that both parents and educators alike can implement to nurture foundational skills. I’m passionate about creating and sharing innovative activities, reviewing and promoting the best children’s picture books, and teaching you how to use wordless picture books. My goal is simple - that with my resources you are able to instill a passion in young minds so that they, too, can develop a deep love for reading and learning that will last a lifetime.
“Discovering that I needed to change most of what I knew of literacy instruction was intimidating and I didn't know where to start. Hanna's conversational, helpful style and "I've been there" attitude gave me the confidence to continually improve.”

“Awesome and authentic as usual yet connects so much with how I want my teaching to be like!”
“Hanna is a wealth of knowledge! Even though I’ve been teaching a long time I still turn to Hanna to help me with all of my literacy questions and find new ways to liven up literacy in my classroom.”
“Hanna provides a wealth of information that is comprehensive, explicit, creative and strategic! Amazing!!”
“I was fully engaged throughout this entire webinar. Hanna is SO knowledgeable about literacy and there is an obvious passion for the information she is sharing. She makes all of the strategies and information easy for listeners to absorb while giving MANY examples of the HOW. This is super important to me instead of just knowing about something and why it is important, I love that I feel confident implementing this immediately after her webinar.”
