Reading Workshops for Parents

Reading Workshops for Parents

                Parents of K-2 and 3-6 students attended two separate interactive reading workshops designed to assist them with facilitating an effective reading session with their child at home.

                Parents received resource packs which included strategies for prompting students to independently problem solve as they read, visuals to assist students with retelling a story and methods for questioning students to check for comprehension as well as to help students make connections to their own experiences, other texts and the world they live in.

                A list of useful websites and apps was also included, as well as additional tips for building reading skills through incidental daily activities at home.

                It was wonderful to see so many parents interested in expanding their knowledge in order to help their children achieve the rewarding skill of ‘reading'!
