The workshop begins with the Predictive Assessment of Reading (PAR), at 10:30am. PAR accurately measures a child’s current level of reading skills, calculates an accurate prediction of present and future reading achievement, and determines which skills need intervention for a child to become a stronger reader. Refreshments will be available from 12 noon to 12:30pm, followed by an informational session with questions and answers. Children will have an opportunity to read to the visiting reading therapy dog from 10:30 to 11:30am. Reading specialist Evelyn Whitebay, is a teacher working with students in a program designed for their unique learning style.
