1. Writing to Learn: Reader Response Strategies & CCSS Text Complexity
December 1, 2012 9:00am-Noon University Hall 125, AASU
Our students sit in front of us daily—reading texts, both literary and informational. How can teachers tell if they
comprehend what they read and also train them to comprehend better and read more proficiently, independently
and reflectively, especially as standards require more complex text?
Scaffolded over the year, reader response strategies encourage students to actively engage in reading and teach
students to “read and comprehend complex literary and informational [literary nonfiction] texts independently and
proficiently,” goals of the Common Core Standards in Reading. Text response also trains students to write
opinions or claims, supporting them with textual evidence, a goal of the Common Core Standards in Writing,
as well as providing opportunities to integrate daily writing in all K-12 ELA and content-area classes, including
art, music, and health.
In an interactive presentation, Lesley Roessing, CSWP Director and author of The Write to Read: Response
Journals That Increase Comprehension (Corwin Press, 2009), will illustrate the advantages of using response
journals across the curriculum and will facilitate this interactive workshop that will share literacy strategies and
activities that encourage student response to texts before, during, and after reading as well as ways in which
response can train students to read more closely and analytically.
$55 registration fee includes a copy of The Write to Read: Response Journals That Increase Comprehension
Space is limited. Registration by November 16 is required because books need to be ordered.
