Flexing Students' Reading Muscles

What can teachers do when students balk at doing the assigned reading? Why do so many students have difficulty staying with a book for more than a few minutes? In this webinar, Carol Jago will demonstrate instructional moves that help students increase their reading stamina and develop greater confidence in themselves as readers. Based on current research in adolescent literacy, she will offer texts and tasks designed to engage today’s teenagers while enlarging their capacity for comprehending what they read.
