Twilight Seminar & Book Launch

“Reading – more than barking at print.
Helping your students with reading”

Tuesday, 13 May 2008

Jean Searle & Ann Kelly

In this workshop we will be sharing ideas on how to assist your students with reading. Participants will be engaged in a range of reading activities which may be undertaken with students at different NRS levels. We will discuss a number of reading theories from ‘information processing’ and ‘phonics’ to an ‘interactive’ model of reading. We will demonstrate a way of analysing your students' reading ability and show how you can draw upon the different theories to meet your students’ needs. We will also focus on reading for various purposes and include ways of increasing learners’ confidence with reading.

Speakers: Jean Searle & Ann Kelly
