Developing Readers that READ: Critical Reading Strategies for All Readers
Presenter: Katie Van Sluys

As teachers of reading we need shared understandings about reading processes and practices, students’ needs, and the best tools and strategies to support our students in becoming life-long readers. To support students’ development of decoding, comprehension, and so on readers need to experience the power and potentials of being readers. Work with Katie Van Sluys in a day-long workshop to pursue issues and strategies to help all students’ in becoming critical readers who use reading in their everyday lives for pleasure, problem solving, and action. Together we will use rich and relevant literature to explore a range of reading strategies and practices to further develop the reading repertoire of readers in your classroom(s) so that our students not only can read but do read.
