Thank you! Excited to share my learning. Check out my talk if you are at #LitLearn2025
We welcome Dr. Theresa Pham to the #LitLearn2025 Lineup! In her session, she'll dive into how oral language plays a crucial role in literacy development and learning. It's more than just phonics—classroom talk is key! Dr. Pham will introduce "Talk Moves"—simple yet powerful tools (like sentence starters and gestures) that help students speak, listen, reason, and think collaboratively.  If your discussions often feel like a Q&A, Talk Moves will bring your classroom conversations to life and foster deeper engagement.
