This one-day workshop is designed to offer teachers a motivating selection of fiction and informational text for classroom instruction. Newly-published chapter books will be presented along with their correlated Common Core and Essential Standards (Grades 3-8). Participants will leave with five chapter books as well as ways to use them in standards implementation: integration of units, motivating reluctant readers, character education, content area instruction and encouraging engaged, recreational readers. Participants will earn 5 hours of credit for the day with an optional additional five hours available for electronic follow up activities. Dr. Karen Sumner, Elementary Curriculum/PD Coordinator, will facilitate this session. Contact her at ksumner@wresa.org/828.774.5681, ext. 26 with questions.
