A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

I know from my experiences as an elementary teacher, reading teacher and literacy coach that reading is one of the most complex subjects to teach with often the least amount of support. Fortunately there is now a considerable body of research we can draw from that clarifies the most effective reading strategies based on real evidence from real classrooms.

In this seminar, I am excited to share the most effective instructional strategies that will help your students become more successful, independent readers. I guarantee you will walk away with many new, innovative ways to help your students become more deeply engaged in the reading process. I will share with you practical lessons and activities to support your grades 3-6 students in the areas of word work, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. You will also be inspired to create your own unique plans to design a classroom environment that promotes and supports independent readers and lifelong learners.

I look forward to meeting you at the seminar.

Sincerely,
Kathryn Starke
