This session will give you a closer look at how two schools effectively leveraged California's Literacy Coaching and Reading Specialist (LCRS) grant — and the Walk to Read model at the center of their success.

Hear from Sonya Martinez, Literacy Coach at Mission Bell Elementary, and Tina Herrera, Principal at Ina Arbuckle Elementary, both from Jurupa Unified School District in Jurupa Valley, CA, as they share their experience:

• Being selected for funding and how they used it to support their literacy goals

• Building and launching their Walk to Read programs

• The structures, routines, and strategies that made the biggest difference

• The challenges they encountered—and how they worked through them

• How their students’ literacy skills have grown as a result
