In Search of Your Superpower!
A300
Presenter: Barb Langridge - Children's Instructor and Research Specialist
Appropriate for ALL LEVELS
Category: Reading is a Window into the World
Which reading superhero are you? This is a great question to ask our students and ourselves. Our children need words to use to define themselves as readers and to describe themselves as readers. This makes reading part of their lives and empowers them to discover the books that will connect with them on a personal level. This is where lifelong readers are born. Participants will discover the eight different reading preference types, the books they love and what makes them unique superhero readers.
