How PocketConnie Works

Developed by a new teacher and an experienced literacy coach, PocketConnie puts high quality conferring support in any teachers pocket. Our web tools and engaging PD help teachers improve their reader analysis and conferring skills.

We do this by also providing assessments, scripts and resources. With PocketConnie even brand new teachers can improve student’s reading engagement with high quality, targeted 1:1 instruction in-person, in distance learning or in a hybrid model. Contact us to learn more

About Us

What We Do

We support schools who use independent reading and/or a Reader’s Workshop approach to help build lifelong readers. We know that in a workshop it can be challenging to make sure that all students are engaged and using their independent reading time effectively.

Our conferring tool helps teachers provide targeted 1:1 support to their readers. We help teachers to focus on building student’s reading identity and developing strong reading habits to increase student’s independent reading stamina and engagement.

Contact Us

PocketConnie is available now for school districts and their teachers.

Prior to using the app I did not confer with students on their readerly life or reading habits I taught reading skills through guided reading. After using the app and conferring more on reading interest, behaviors, and readerly life my data soared.

Everything that I have used from the PocktConnie app hasn’t been a big lift, it has been a nice short lesson, and fits with what the student is specifically reading. You don’t need a specific book or genre, the conferring lessons fits across all text.
