Language Teacher Writing Workshops Your students deserve amazing design!
Learn the nuts and bolts of writing leveled texts for your beginner, intermediate, & advanced classes.
Each four-part series* includes (1) a 90-minute Fiction Writing Workshop on Saturday on crafting narrative texts that have appropriate complexity & language supports for the level, (2) a 90-minute Fiction Design Lab on Sunday, on using the provided templates to include graphics & layout elements that support comprehension, to respond to the specific needs of students at that level, (3) a 90-minute Nonfiction Writing Workshop the following Saturday, and (4) a 90-minute Nonfiction Design Lab the following Sunday.
You'll leave with two finished texts (one fiction & one nonfiction)* about topics that you want to teach, & also a library of editable templates for lots more topics at that level, created by your fellow participants & instructors.
It's like getting an instant collection of leveled texts, plus loads of templates you can use however you want!
We will provide blank templates for each level of text, graphics, icons, & infographics (charts, maps, etc) to make designing leveled readings a snap! Take your readings to the next level with our help & see what a difference your new writing & layout skills make for your students' engagement, enjoyment, & comprehension!
Take just one level or sign up for the whole series, save a bundle on your tuition, & learn all the things! The workshops will be recorded, so you can refer back to them anytime, or watch and learn on your own schedule.
If you are an educator of color, or a member of our LGBTQ+ community, your tuition is FREE if you are willing to partner with us to potentially bring your work to publication on E-Lit, as a member of our writing team, as we work to bring a wider variety of voices to our students. This could be the start of a fruitful collaboration with E-Lit for those with the desire to publish content for language learners!

$80 00 Give your beginners texts that allow them to experience the joy of reading in the language with the easiest, most comprehensible texts you can possibly find! Get your higher beginners in the "Goldilocks Zone" with texts that stretch their skills with more challenging texts, language, and topics . . . but not TOO challenging! Give your high beginners and intermediate students a boost up the literacy ladder with texts that incorporate more dialogue and content-area vocabulary and information. Step it up for your intermediate students with more cultural content, & longer, more complex sentences, and lots of visual support to help them meet the challenge! Give your high intermediate students something to really sink their teeth into with texts that begin to incorporate more theme, more abstract topics, and content-specific vocab! Support your high intermediates making the transition to advanced work, with texts built to support their higher-order thinking using visuals and textual cues.
