Older struggling readers are a unique student population. They face many different challenges. Dr. Virginia Loh-Hagan will share best practices and programming ideas that will motivate struggling readers to become striving readers. In addition, participants will learn what it's like to be a struggling reader and gain an insider perspective on writing for this population. All participants will walk away with some new strategies to implement with their students the very next day. This workshop will be broken into two sections - attending one hour will yield great information and the second hour will look more deeply into examples of appropriate book titles, delve into the process of writing non-fiction for these readers, plus opportunities to get in depth advice from Dr. Loh-Hagan .
