NM PED 2026 Literacy and Humanities Summer Conference

In this interactive session, you will learn specific strategies to support students as they navigate multisyllabic words within grade-level texts. You will review essential syllable types and practice instructional routines designed to help older readers break down and read longer, more complex words with confidence.

Taught in a classroom style, this session allows you to actively practice these routines in small groups with the direct support of the presenter and your peers. By engaging in this hands-on work, you will gain a deep understanding of how to bridge the gap for students who struggle with word length and complexity. You will leave with practical, classroom-tested methods to help your students decode advanced vocabulary, ensuring they can access and understand the rigorous content required in the upper grades.
