AE Live! Teacher Professional Development Events - AE Live 8.2 - Making Reading Fun: Engaging Pre-Reading Activities for ELLs

Some students love reading; others find it difficult or boring. Pre-reading tasks allow students to draw on their own knowledge and experiences, create connections, and familiarize themselves with relevant vocabulary before beginning a text. Excitement for reading builds as students form questions and gain insights. This webinar will explore why pre-reading tasks are beneficial, and it presents simple, student-centered activities that can be easily modified for any age group, class size, skill level, or technology access level. We will learn how to adapt these fun and effective activities to help all of your students get excited about reading!
