Hello---
I've been asked to do a workshop at my school for teachers k-12 on strategies
for reaching all readers. (They want teachers in our district to share what
they know instead of bringing in an outsider)
I teach 8th grade Language Arts and I do have some strategies, but I also do
independent reading books, and choice lit. circle books (so students are
reading at their level) High school teachers and content area teachers will be
in attendance who have textbooks and stuff.
Because I don't know all the answers, (and I've never led a workshop before)
I want to make it a sharing workshop where we discuss the issue (of readers at
all levels in a class and how to reach them). However, I don't want to presume
that my strategies in Language arts are going to work in high school Social
Studies, Science, English, math, etc. I plan to email all the participants to
find out what they are looking for before attending, and to bring what they do
to share with the group as well as providing some of my best ideas.
I also wanted to gather your ideas. What are your best strategies when you
are teaching a lesson and you know several kids are not going to be able to
comprehend the chapter, article, etc?
Thanks for your suggestions (on the workshop structure, or ideas to share)
