Reading Workshops

Early Phase Reading (P-3) Two Day Workshop

This course is specifically designed for Teacher Aides who work with students in the first four years of schooling but is also recognised as strong professional development for teacher aides working across all primary grades. Teacher Aides will have a better understanding of the reading process and how to apply this knowledge in guided reading with small groups and in one on one intervention programs at the end of this course.

Course Overview

DAY ONE:

• Extensive modelling of working with a small group or one on one using modelled, shared or a guided reading instructional approach and understanding the various levels of support.

DAY TWO:

• Consolidation of day one in a small group activity
• Revisiting or a first introduction to the conventions for taking a running record of reading.
• The three levels of analysis are studied in order to further understandings of the reading process and to support Teacher Aides in their decision making when working with students.
• Working with reading strategies that will enhance a readers ability to access texts
