What’s Going On? Using Current Event Articles to Teach Reading in the ESE classroom
What does it take to get exceptional education students reading? How do you teach them to read and understand the world? In this session you will learn how using current event articles and good reading strategies (as opposed to bad reading strategies? just thinking) can lead students to understanding nonfiction texts. What about “how using current events to teach reading strategies can lead…” Discover how the right collaborative learning group can have students talking about nonfiction, the world, and how it applies to their lives. Learn how the right article, the right support, and the right learning environment can lead students to real reading! Sounds wonderful… can I come to yours?

This session will focus on organization and strategies that will help even your struggling students understand what is being read. With the right support you can have a classroom full of readers! (what do you mean by organization here? text organization or text structures? make it plural to match strategies or will you not do more than one? )
