Thursday, February 9, 2012
9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Description:

Many of you have asked about specialized programming targeting the different genders (i.e. book clubs for girls, reluctant boy readers) so this is your workshop!
 
The Spring children’s exchange will focus on reaching new, and reluctant readers with special emphasis on connecting with male reluctant readers with a presentation from author Sigmund Brouwer. Brouwer is the best-selling author of many books for children and adults. As a tireless presenter with his Rock and Roll Literacy Show across North America, Sigmund knows first-hand what it takes to reach a reader because he started as one himself. His goal with the Rock & Roll Literacy show is how to get boys (and girls) excited about reading and writing. We get “lost” in great music…let’s get lost in great books! Take a peek at his presentation from Rogers Elementary in Canada, December 2010:
http://www.orcabook.com/client/client_pages/teachers/audio-and-video.cfm

We will meet at SCSL at 9:30. Please note the time! At 10:00 a.m. we will go to Logan Elementary School, 815 Elmwood Avenue (about a mile away) to watch Sigmund's presentation in action. We will return to SCSL after for lunch and discussion including resources (books, website, audio and video) to reach our school-age readers, and have some fun giveaways. We will also hear from your colleagues about how they have been working to reach the different young populations in their communities.
