Fall 2010 IATE Conference

Just a quick post to let interested parties know that I'll be giving a presentation at the 2010 Fall IATE conference.

My session is called, "Making Book Clubs Click for Struggling Adolescent Readers: Blending Technology and Tradition in Secondary Literature Circles."

I'll be telling about my experience setting up the online/in-person book clubs I used in my Reading I (now called Strategic Reading) classes with struggling freshman readers.

I'll also be presenting a session at our local county inservice on adolescent literacy instruction and content area reading strategies this coming October.
