Is your student having difficulty understanding what he or she reads? Come to the upcoming LCNV in-service workshop and get some tips and strategies for teaching reading comprehension to the adult learner. Although the workshop will focus on the comprehension component of reading, it will include time for participants to ask questions about other problems they are experiencing in teaching reading.
Our presenter will be Dr. Annette Asfaw, who has worked in the field of special education for the last 20 years. Dr. Asfaw, who currently teaches at Shenandoah University, has presented at conferences and workshops all over the United States on various topics, including teaching reading and writing to students with learning disabilities. This workshop is appropriate for people working either with Basic or ESOL learners.
Space is limited. Contact Lizette Zurita at info@lcnv.org or (703) 237-0866 by Monday, March 22, to register.
The summer 2010 issue of LCNV's newsletter, Literacy Lines, is now available online.
