ECSD Elementary Summer Summit 2026: September Starts Here Join us on August 28 for a day of learning, collaboration, and inspiration designed to help you start the school year strong! Choose from over 25 sessions featuring classroom-ready resources, practical strategies, and ready-to-use lessons across literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, assessment, inclusion, faith permeation, and wellness. Whether you’re exploring the new Grades 4–6 Social Studies curriculum, discovering Dynamic Math, or looking for fresh ideas to support every learner, you’ll leave confident, energized, and September ready!
This session brings clarity to what reading looks like in Kindergarten to Grade 3 through the lens of the Alberta ELAL curriculum. Together, we’ll unpack grade-level reading expectations, explore what students should know and be able to do within each organizing idea, and examine how assessment, texts, and instructional tools can help build a clear profile of a reader. Teachers will leave with a stronger understanding of how to identify student strengths, determine next steps, and support reading over the course of the year with clarity and purpose.
