The Perfect Storm: When Reading and Math Meet
Virtual Session
Facilitator: Marilyn Zecher M.A., CALT
This workshop will focus on strategies based on the updated What Works Clearinghouse Practice Guide (2018). We will examine word problems in mathematics in a different light as we examine difficulties that are more than decoding the words. Many aspects of reading comprehension and different neurocognitive processes come into play. Working memory issues can make problem-solving a chore when attempted with current models.
A handout will be provided to participants before the workshop for them to print in advance. Bring your colored pencils or dry erase markers and join us to learn some "different ideas" about how to help students attack this crucial skill. Tuesday, April 16, 2024
