Free Reading Buddy Workshop
December 5th 6:30-8p YELLS, Inc. 779 Franklin Gateway SE Marietta, GA 30067 Practice makes perfect. We've heard that all of our lives, and it's true if...you are practicing correctly. If you practice doing something incorrectly, you'll probably get good at doing it poorly. This 1.5 hour workshop will provide you with an overview of how people learn to read. Knowing this will help you determine what to do to best help your "buddy" progress in reading skill. This workshop will focus on building reading fluency, helping your "buddy" read with speed, accuracy and expression. In this workshop you will practice helping someone become a better reader by listening to them read and learning how to give feedback that will allow them to become a better reader, faster. The process of learning to become a better reader is the same for children and adults. Just like the process for learning to play the piano is the same, no matter how old you are. The main difference in working with people of different ages is the selection of appropriate reading material. FREE CHILD CARE available with registration!
