Reflect on how you learned to read, the reading habits you have formed, home and school influences on your reading development, and the kinds of reading you do.
Ask the participants to look at the word above. Ask them to write what they see on their paper. Discuss the two possible responses:“Opportunity is no where” and “ Opportunity is now here” Remind the participants that although everything in the course might not be useful in their classroom setting, they have the opportunity to learn more from each other.
“What’s in it for me?”The goal is for the participants to take ideas from each session and implement the strategies into their classroom. As participants seat in the course they will tune in and out of the material, but in the end, the more they know about reading, the better they will be able to meet the needs of their students.Ask participants to collect and organize ideas they might implement in their classrooms.TWO COLUMN NOTES – SHARE WITH PARTICIPANTSCan take a variety of formats, depending upon the subject area, instructional goals, and the nature of the text.

Participant Knowledge Survey Let participants know that this is not a test. The survey gives them an opportunity to think about what they already know about beginning reading instruction. Ask participants to take a few minutes to rate their knowledge about the information.
The content of this course is divided into twelve sessions. Each session addresses topics important to helping students learn to read and is intended to run four hours.Participants will complete an investigative activity in each session.
