The PRE K Classroom
Participants of this workshop will learn how to create a balanced literacy program based on guided reading and supported by read aloud, shared reading, interactive writing and other approaches.
Parents are Teachers, Too
Train parents how to help their children at home in order to improve reading comprehension. This workshop helps parents learn to effectively read to their children. Studies show that parents who read with children for just a few minutes a day will increase how easily and how well their children will learn to read and enjoy reading later in life.
PARAPROFESSIONAL TRAINING
Number of Days:
5 Days of Paraprofessional Training - 5 Components of Reading
Target Audience:
Paraprofessionals
Program Description:
Paraprofessionals have not been involved in professional development on the 5 Components of Reading but have an important role to play working with children in centers, small flexible groups, and children who are receiving supplemental instruction. They will receive training on the 5 Components of Reading (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and text comprehension). They will also have the opportunity to create activities for each of these components that can be implemented in the classroom.
By enhancing the understanding of SBRR, they will be empowered to take a more meaningful and active role in the classroom. They will gain ability and confidence and be more eager to contribute to classroom instruction.
