Teachers: Plan an engaging reading workshop designed for parents and children in elementary grades. This workshop will teach
parents strategies to help their child with comprehension using a Reader’s Toolkit and custom strategy sticky notes. Each parent
receives a Reader’s Toolkit, sticky notes, and a step-by-step Parent Guide. A demonstration parent and child DVD using the
Reader’s Toolkit is also available. You may view the first 3 minutes of the 16 minute video training below.
The preparation of teachers to deliver strategy instruction is ultimately linked to student achievement. Reader’s Toolkit consultants are available for professional development in the implementation of strategy instruction for reading comprehension. Trainings can be customized to build on teacher’s existing knowledge in explicit strategy instruction. Listed below are two of the most popular workshops. Contact for additional information.
