SUMMARY:Literacy Minnesota: Developing and Practicing Reading Fluency
DESCRIPTION: Come and review the important role of fluency in reading instruction. We will discuss the three key components of reading fluency and look at a variety of activities tutors and teachers can try. We will talk about the mechanics of doing fluency practice via Zoom\, Google Meet\, Teams or any other remote tutoring tool (including the phone!). Participants will have plenty of opportunity to ask questions and share resources. \nThis workshop will be most useful for instructors working with low-intermediate to advanced readers. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Literacy Minnesota: The Learning Styles Myth (and the Teaching Practices Worth Keeping)
DESCRIPTION:Many of us were taught that students learn best when instruction matches their “learning style.” In this webinar\, we’ll take a closer look at where that idea came from\, why it stuck\, and what research actually tells us. We’ll explore how learning‑style labels can end up doing more harm than good for learners. At the same time\, we’ll focus on what is worth keeping — the useful lessons learning‑styles theory offers for language instruction. You’ll leave with practical\, research‑based strategies you can use right away\, without sorting students into boxes. \nPlease note that you may be asked to participate in discussion groups during the webinar. Please plan to join us from a quiet setting where you can see the PowerPoint slides and use your audio. \nRegister here.
