We are living in an unprecedented time with dual pandemics: COVID-19 and racial injustice. It is paramount that we attend to issues of equity and work to support children of color in learning literacy, even as we try to learn our way around virtual classroom spaces. Culturally-responsive literacy instruction is an evidence-based approach that teachers can use to promote literacy learning for all students.

In today’s education environment teachers are being asked to engage students in synchronous learning. Ensuring that students are making grade-level gains through distance learning can be a daunting task. Having reading activities connected to science and social studies allows teachers to save screen time by covering multiple standards in one lesson. Join Vanessa Perrotta, Director of Marketing, Literacy; and Sara Heindorf, Manager, Customer Success at National Geographic Learning for practical ideas and realistic lessons and activities that will help students make gains via distance learning, in-school, and hybrid situations.

Getting to knowledge-building instruction means turning to units of study that revolve around big ideas and build students’ academic content and vocabulary knowledge. While it’s crucial to teach students through units of study in any given year, with today’s circumstances and likely periods of online learning, units of study take on an even more important role in the curriculum landscape.

How can you keep your students engaged as they sit in front of a computer or tablet screen or even a small mobile device? How can you encourage them to learn and thrive their knowledge through this virtual space? Think about what your students can see, hear, and feel through the screen. It might be a flat surface, but you can make your screen come alive with the ways you talk and move, the ways you encourage students to participate, and the materials and objects you use–even simple objects from your own home!
