In this workshop, I’ll be focusing on how teachers can and should structure their reading lessons to not only teach reading objectives, but do so in a way that gets students excited about reading both in class and on their own.

During the workshop we will discuss how to:

1

Make Reading Fun & Engaging 

We’ll talk about how you can make reading FUN for you and your students! We will discuss why engagement is the number one thing you should consider when planning your reading lessons, and how you can keep your students engaged and motivated week after week.

2 

Create a Student-Centered Reading Block

Our reading block should be set up and structured in a way that gives students maximum involvement in the reading process. We will discuss how to create a student-centered reading block that has less teacher talk and more student ownership.

3

Provide Effective Reading Instruction

Finally, we want to make sure students can transfer the skills and strategies we teach to their own independent reading. No matter what type of texts your students like to read, learn how to teach reading in a way that will help students feel like confident and successful readers.

This is your chance to learn more about how to start the year with intention and how you can maximize your instructional time to create a classroom community that is centered on reading — and making it fun!
