Strategies for Struggling Readers
Presenter(s): Linda Barbato
DCIU Professional Development Specialist
Does your child struggle with reading? Does he/she avoid any task that requires reading? Does he show frustration with reading assignments? If so, this workshop will help! Successful readers are active readers, and they use many strategies to make sense of text. This workshop will introduce parents to some of the strategies used by successful readers, such as visualizing, making connections, and predicting. Participants will experience these strategies, and support will be provided to help parents incorporate these activities during shared reading times with their children.
