This webinar, which can be viewed on Monday, Feb. 27, at 1 p.m. in the Collaboratory, will describe the need for increased attention to reading in writing courses and outlines ways that instructors can help students become better and more deliberate readers of the range of texts they will encounter in their postsecondary academic careers and beyond. Participants will leave the webinar with:
- A better understanding of how and why students are struggling with reading.
- A pedagogical framework within which students develop a repertoire of reading strategies, apply these to different kinds of kinds of texts, and have opportunities to reflect on this process so that students are positioned to transfer what they are learning about reading.
- Strategies and assignments that help make students’ reading practices visible so instructors and students can work together on them.
