The Reason for Reading

Why do you Read?
...because my teacher/boss told me too!
...to learn new information about an interesting topic!
...for fun!!!
...because my friend said this is a good book!
...because I'm bored and have nothing else to do!

There are many reasons to read and we've all been told it's a good thing to do.  However, some students are only reading because they know their grade depends on it and they don't know how to make their time reading worth while!  Mostof these students will find that they have read a paragraph, a page, or an entire chapter and not really have any clue what it was about.

If this describes your child, empower them to Read for a Reason by attending the student workshop we will be hosting to improve comprehension and retention.  The workshop is broken into 4 sessions -- one hour each Saturday in February.

The first series of workshops will focus on the aspects of reading fiction! Kids will learn the main pieces of a fiction story, so they will know what to look for as they are reading through the story the first time. The four sessions will be action-packed and fun!

I love to read for pleasure and want all the young children in the world to find the enjoyment in it that I do!!!

Parent Workshop

The parents of children with dyslexia are so often trying to gather information and gain an understanding of this learning difference with which their child has been presented.  We are going to make an effort to help in this quest and begin hosting a series of workshops for parents of students with dyslexia...or anyone who wants more information on it.  The details of the first workshop are below.
