The workshop will present a completely new approach to teaching reading that actually provides students with strategies to become better readers. This is in contrast to the usual way of handling reading, where students are merely tested on their comprehension and most of the skills that they do practice are not transferable. This session will provide a simple lesson framework based on strategies to improve comprehension that can be used outside the classroom. It also includes transferable strategies students can use to deal with unknown words. The framework is easily implemented and the fact that the lessons are completely student-centred means that very little preparation is needed on the part of the teacher. All you need to do before the lesson is to find a reading text.
The workshop will take place on July 2, from 5:30 to 7:00 at English Central. More details are below. Please note that the group rate is $25 per person (3 or more) so if you would like to print a copy of the poster to put in your staffroom, you can find a PDF version here http://kenlackman.com/files/newreading14.pdf
