Grades:K-3
Monday Dec. 8
Reading Clubs In K-3 Classrooms: Teach Children To Read With Power, Think With Depth, And Talk With Passion About Books

Presented by: Kathy Collins
“Kathy provides you with the companionship, practical help, and the inspiration you need in order to incorporate reading clubs into your teaching. She will help you see that you need not make a choice between teaching for skills and teaching for engagement as your students both learn to read and learn to love reading.”
-Lucy Calkins

On this day, Kathy Collins will share a new vision of nonfiction and character study reading clubs that has been developed and nurtured within the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project community of teachers and implemented in classrooms around the country.

Kathy will share many ideas for mini-lessons and examples of reading conferences to support students as they hone their reading and discussion skills in ways that improve their reading comprehension. Suggestions for launching and fostering reading partnerships that support the development of reading skills and that are characterized by student investment and enthusiasm will also be presented. Additionally, teachers will learn specific strategies for differentiating instruction to support struggling and reluctant readers within cycles of reading clubs.
