Wide Reading in the Elementary Classroom more

Sun, May 1, 15:00-Tue, May 31, 23:55 Asia/Seoul

Reading is one of the four main pillars of language acquisition. By engaging in a wide reading curriculum, students can acquire vocabulary, experience new grammar patterns, and reinforce their language acquisition. However, a wide reading curriculum can be tricky to incorporate, especially in the elementary classroom. In this workshop, we will discuss exactly what wide reading is, talk about strategies to make an extensive reading curriculum enjoyable for you and your students, and discuss in detail some of the challenges that are often faced when beginning your own wide reading journey in the classroom. Furthermore, we will consider some engaging pre, during, and post reading strategies you can incorporate directly into your teaching practice.
