All Ladders! No Chutes! Scaffolding Complex Texts- Elementary Edition
RLA 3-5




The research is clear: The ability to comprehend complex text plays a key role in later college and career readiness. We want all the opportunities for all our students, but what do we do when our students don't come to us reading on grade level? We have emergent bilingual students and multilingual learners? We have students with reading and cognitive disabilities? How do we ensure that in Tier 1 instruction, all young students have access to complex, grade-level appropriate text and tasks?

We aim to answer this question with research and equip you with knowledge and strategies for differentiated scaffolding in this session. We will explore techniques to scaffold for content, context, and the individual "kiddo" that will open doors for your students, increase performance, and create a safe and responsive classroom for your students to stretch, productively struggle, and engage in text complexity.

This session is open to any elementary educator.

Important Session Information:


This session is designed for 3–5 educators to deepen their understanding and use of scaffolds that support student engagement with complex text. Participants will explore strategies that allow even our youngest learners to access complex ideas through visual supports, read-alouds, vocabulary scaffolds, and interactive experiences. Through collaborative discussion and hands-on practice, educators will leave equipped to design learning experiences that make complex text accessible for every student—from third to fifth graders.

Enhanced Curriculum membership may attend at no additional fee.
