[Bower, Carol]

Dear Colleagues,

 

In the early spring, Northeast SABES will be sponsoring a two-day
training for ABE instructors of non-native speaking students and low
level readers. Practitioners will have the opportunity to learn a
concise, explicit and effective method of literacy instruction through
READING HORIZONS/ Discover Intensive Phonics Program.

This training has already been well received with rave reviews in the
Southeast SABES region. 

 

Until that time, Reading Horizons is hosting a series of free WEBINARS.
Below is the first in its series which will take place on Thursday,
August 14, at 4:00pm ET. In the email below, just control click on the
red WEBINAR button, to register for this one hour session.

You may also email any questions you have about reading and literacy
before or immediately after the session jan at readinghorizons.com.

 

We will post the dates of this valuable upcoming training as soon as we
have our confirmations.

 

Thanks, Janet

Webinar: 

"Developing Fluent Readers" 

August 14th, 2:00 p.m. MST 

Reading fluency is receiving increased visibility in classrooms around
the world, yet many programs fail to understand how to fully integrate
this essential reading skill into a reading curriculum. Likewise
programs face challenges in knowing how to explicitly develop this
important skill. Teachers and Program Administrators struggle with
knowing how to balance both silent and oral reading fluency instuction.
Most fluency assessments focus on oral fluency. Anderson maintains that
if you want to develop strong, fluent oral readers you must first
develop strong, fluent silent readers. 

Anderson defines reading fluency as reading at an appropriate rate with
adequate comprehension. This webinar will focus on how this definition
can be implemented in classrooms. He will review the pedagogical
rationale for building reading fluency and suggest activities that
teachers, especially those working with second language readers, can use
for explicit classroom instruction on how to build and improve reading
fluency.
