Raising Stamina & Engagement with Series Books (Levels I-Q) June 21, 2018

MORTON RANCH ELEMENTARY 

Do you have disengaged readers that never finish chapter books? Maybe you have first graders that you believe are ready to move into chapter books.  This one day workshop is not to be missed if you have readers that read inside of these levels during your school year.  Whether you are a 1st grade teacher with stronger readers or a 5th grade teacher with students reading inside of these levels, this workshop will provide you with insight on how to raise the rigor and engagement of these readers by introducing them into series books between levels I-Q.  We will show you how to take the known aspects within series book reading to support your readers in thinking forward in texts, understanding what to possibly expect from a stock character, and using their prior experiences to comprehend more deeply. We will talk about ways to rally your readers to dig deep across a series to develop theories about the characters as well as what to count on from the author.  We are SUPER excited about this one!! 

ALL WORKSHOPS WILL BEGIN AT 8:30 AM AND CONCLUDE AT 3:30 PM   ALL REGISTRATIONS MUST BE PAID PRIOR TO THE WORKSHOP.  BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A CONSULTANT DAY, TITLE ONE FUNDS WILL DO THIS FOR A REGISTRATION FEE.  

You may want to arrive between 8:10 and 8:20 to sign in, pick up materials and find seating.  If you 

are expecting a large group from your school it is a good idea to come early if sitting together is important to you.  Dress comfortably and you may want to add layers...buildings can be really cold.
