Recorded Workshop – Supporting the Development of Reading

How do we support children in becoming total readers, who have a love of reading a variety of authors and who are able to comprehend and appreciate a variety of styles? We discuss the importance of carefully selecting books with a variety of authors from around the world, which support the ABAR approach of “mirrors and windows”. Participants gain an understanding of the value of ensuring that all children see themselves and their cultures reflected in the books in the classroom, as well as seeing other people’s lives and cultures in the pages of the books.

Join Primary Director of Training Michelle Becka for a discussion of how we begin the journey towards reading, the sequence of skills that the children need to acquire in order to read, how we support the child who is experiencing challenges, and how we offer a variety of activities to keep the child engaged as they become a total reader.
