Greater Fairfield Region Chapter of CTAEYC Presents:
Annual Celebration of Children
Building Strong Readers
Presenter:
Joan Kelley
Our Annual Celebration of Children culminates a year of focus on early language and literacy in the early childhood environment. Join us as we invite Joan Kelly to guide our thinking and practice. In her two-part session Joan will provide a critical overview of what it takes to read successfully and the rationale for why families need to be involved early, and how. We are happy to invite parents/caregivers to this session. The second session is designed for teachers with an interactive format focused on vocabulary and higher order thinking.
Joan Gould Kelley was a former teacher and part of the Language Diversity and Literacy Development Research Group at the Harvard Graduate School of Education for over a decade, where she researched, wrote articles for the field, and worked with teachers and educational leaders to help them implement the kind of instruction that successfully builds children’s reading skills. Joan believes that this work is most effectively accomplished in cooperative partnership with families and offer methods to achieve this goal as well.
