ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
This presentation focuses on rethinking how teachers can use short text to help students "read like writers." We know that lengthy text selections can be intimidating for struggling readers, but they can gain confidence and reading skill when they practice with short pieces.  We'll examine various types of short text--including poetry, newspapers and magazine articles--and explore how targeted focus on close reading strategies can advance students' understanding context clues, text structure, vocabulary development, and inference and summarizing skills.
