S26-04109 USING KAMI TO STRENGTHEN READING AND WRITING

ACROSS CONTENT AREAS—K—12

Jeannette Walsh—jwalsh0324@gmail.com

3 credits—Inservice—June 24– August 15

Do your students skim text without fully understanding, give one-word answers or shut down during reading and writing tasks? Many learners struggle across content areas because they lack the skills and scaffolds needed to process text and express their thing. This course supports K-12 content-area teachers by showing how to us Kami, an interactive PDF annotation and accessibility tool, to turn AI-generated resources (from tools such as Canva or ChatGPT) into engaging, scaffolded learning experiences. Participants will use elements of the Hochman Method to explicitly teach sentence construction and develop text-based extended responses.
