    Combinations involves explicit instruction in sentence-level routines (boundaries, hook it up/set it up, stretch it and parallel revision) that develop students' written and oral language, content knowledge and reading comprehension simultaneously. These multiplier strategies are especially powerful for English learners because they also teach how the English language works.

    Please join us for this 3-day workshop grounded in the science of reading and based on ideas from our new book, Sentence Strategies for Multilingual Learners: Advancing Academic Literacy through Combinations (Routledge, 2023). You will learn how and why Combinations works to develop high levels of academic literacy for all students. You will leave with sentence-level activities for immediate use that tap into and draw upon students' cultural and linguistic assets and that provide access to deep content learning and English language development concurrently for all students.

    Participants are expected to attend all 3 sessions.
