Dr. Lisa Blackwell
Motivation Psychologist
Dr. Blackwell is a psychologist in the field of achievement motivation and brain-based learning. The workshop started with an individual activity requesting the reading buddies to think back to their early experience of learning to read in school. This activity helped the participants to connect to the experiences of struggling young readers by drawing references from their own past. The concept of neuroplasticity was linked to the observed motivational benefits of viewing intelligence as a malleable quality, to yield a more refined definition of confidence (as part of edzone’s 3-C model) -- confidence in one’s "ability to learn.” Dr. Blackwell also offered suggestions on the art of providing feedback by drawing references from existing literatures and her professional experiences.

Dr. Joseph Yukish
Reading Specialist, Reading and Writing Project
The first day of Dr. Yukish’s presentation provides us with an understanding about a book leveling system and the associated reading level of the readers. The read-aloud and hands-on book-leveling activities help to gain a better understanding of both the reading tasks and applying the understanding of book leveling to the teaching of reading through experiential learning.

During the second day, Dr. Yukish introduced more difficult

reading. This part of the workshop also provided us with examples of
model-based strategies. This part of the workshop also provide us with examples of model-based strategies, including the diagnosis of skill sets as well as story boarding, goal setting and the associated scaffolding methods.

Dr. Barbara Hruska
Professor of the TESOL program
Reading with English Language Learners-- There are two basic populations of ELLs with regards to literacy. Those who are already literate in a language other than English and those who are learning literacy skills in English. The first group already understands basic concepts about print and will transfer these skills to English. The second group is learning the concepts about print, a new culture, new academic concepts and a new language all at the same time. We discussed how to work with these two groups in terms of books the Reading Buddies will read to their ELL students and the books the ELL students will read to the Reading Buddies.
