Encouraging Non-Readers:Strategies to Help Students with Difficulty Reading
Student Center Room 18
Monday, November 5, 2007
12:00-12:50 P.M.
We will talk about those students who simply don't read the textbooks or articles assigned for their courses. Whether the texts are beyond the students' reading levels or just outside their reading interests, there are sound strategies you can use to get students "into" the reading, to support them as they read, and to measure their understanding before, during, and after reading. We are tapping the expertise of Dr. Becky Pitkin from the Department of Teacher Education to share research-based, effective teaching practices to get students reading . . . and making use of their reading in class discussions, writing assignments, examinations, research projects, etc.
RSVP by Thursday, November 1 in order to reserve a meal at this workshop luncheon. You may respond to Sonja Steffen (ASC Administrative Secretary) by e-mail at Sonja.Steffen@dickinsonstate.edu or by telephone at 483-2999. We look forward to having you join us and our continuing conversation about teaching and learning across campus.
