Reading with your child(ren) is one of the single most important academic behaviors you can engage in. Together, we will: -explore best practices for reading aloud to children -understand that reading is thinking (not decoding) -review comprehension skills and strategies -formulate critical thinking questions used to engage student thinking -explore books to develop a better sense of rich literacy and selecting texts to meet reading goals
How can parents help at home when they have a struggling reader? It is so understandable for parents/caregivers to worry -- this hands-on session will give you specific tools and easy, engaging strategies to make learning at home less stressful, and more positive, productive, and fun for everyone. Walter Hays Elementary School Phono-Graphix tutor Carrie Manley will lead this interactive session, introducing you to an explicit, multi-sensory approach that results in measurable reading gains, and more confident readers. Carrie will also offer tips for building a strong home-school partnership. For many PAUSD families, English is not their first language--this inclusive session is here to help and support every parent. Educational professionals interested in learning more about this research-based method are also welcome to attend.

Discuss with us what it's like to raise children ready to engage in a diverse world. We will have an open conversation about what equity truly means, what we need to support our children in interacting with peers of any and all backgrounds, and how to have those hard conversations about race and culture. We will create a safe and trusting space to have genuine conversations in this session.
