Literacy is a Restorative Practice!

Literacy is more than just reading and writing—it is a fundamental restorative practice that empowers students, fosters connection, and builds a sense of belonging. In this session, we will explore the intersection of literacy and social-emotional learning through the lens of the Science of Reading Framework and the Restorative Practices Continuum. Participants will examine evidence-based literacy strategies that not only improve reading outcomes but also create inclusive, supportive classroom environments. We will discuss how restorative practices such as relationship-building, shared responsibility, and student voice can enhance literacy instruction, leading to deeper engagement and academic success. Educators will leave with actionable strategies to integrate restorative literacy practices in their classrooms, ensuring all students thrive both academically and emotionally.
