Reading, Writing, Spelling & Phonics
In these three interactive workshops, Torri Chappell, teacher and reading specialist, will share techniques for helping students become more effective readers, writers and spellers. In each workshop, participants will learn about the processes used and identify effective strategies to help students become independent and confident learners. You will leave these workshops with book recommendations and a lot of valuable information, activities and inspiration. The workshops can be taken in any order, however, we recommend taking the Reading Workshop first.
