Independent Reading/Home Reading

April 25, 2012, 4:00 – 6:30 p.m.

Valley View School
Presented by Julie Bain

It is no surprise that the more students read, the better they become at it but how do we encourage independent reading in the classroom and at home? This workshop will:

  • explore ways to engage students in meaningful, independent reading
  • discuss ways to establish home reading that works for students and parents
  • suggest sources of books for independent and home reading
  • give you ideas for a variety of texts that students can read at home
