Steven L. Layne is passionate about
building lifetime readers, and he wants to share his vision with every teacher who’s willing to listen. As a classroom teacher with over fifteen years of experience in the public schools, Steve has faced those same reluctant “turned-off-to-books” readers that sit listlessly in your classroom and wander aimlessly through your school library. If you’re looking for practical and exciting ways to turn those kids around, and you want to know about some of the books that work “magic” - this seminar has effective answers.
Join Steve as he prepares teachers of grades
1-6 to return to their classrooms ready to bring the magic of reading
alive for more kids than ever before. Steve hits the ground running
explaining the research base that supports reading aloud—one that improves listening skills, reinforces reading skills, and broadens students’ interests! Discover how to initiate a “First Read Club” in your classroom or library, develop a Reading Lounge to motivate reluctant readers school-wide, and excite kids with dynamic writing assignments in response to great books. While you’re at it, teach them to profile key characters from books and treat them to a Picture Book-of-the-Month Program, No Reason Gift Certificates, Shopping Trips in the school library, and more! Get ready for reading to become more exciting than ever before—in your classroom and at your school!
