| Overview: | |||||||||
| While teachers must of course cover end-year expectations in reading for their particular grade, it is also important to teach students to come up with ideas about what they read independently - and how to back up these ideas with evidence. One way to accomplish this is through project-based reading conferences, where students learn to recognize, name, and extend their own lines of thinking. In this interactive workshop, teachers will learn a practical, step-by-step approach to conducting individual reading conferences – including strategies for conferring virtually - that help students become engaged, independent comprehension decision makers. |
