I just held a Parent University for my classroom last night. I covered
fluency, reading comprehension (before, during, and after strategies:
predicting, connecting, questioning), and summer reading.
Station 1: Fluency
I assessed each student's WCPM and overall fluency and then shared
with the student and parent how the score ranked with norms for 3rd
graders at this time of the year. I also shared with parents a list of
tips for increasing fluency as well as additional information about what
fluency is.
Station 2: Reading Comprehension
This station taught parents how to read with their children to enhance
comprehension. I provided a guide for before, during, and after reading
specific to a story that I provided time for them to read . . . but with
the understanding that the same structure should be applied to other
fiction reads.
Station 3: Summer Reading
Here, students and parents worked together to come up with three
summer reading goals. If 2 of the 3 goals are met and the goal sheet is
returned at the beginning of next year, those students names will be put
in a drawing for a Hastings gift card. Students also made a bookmark at
the center and received a list of recommended books for third graders.
If you have additional questions or ideas for how I could improve my
Parent University please feel free to ask/share.

Hello my name is Carmen Abraham, and I am currently a student at Wayne
State University enrolled in a reading comprehension class. My question
is: "Our school is planning on a comprehension workshop for the parents.
Should reading workshops be mandatory for parents so they are able to
better help their children become independent thinkers and learners?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this a successful event?
Has anyone ever done this in their school, what works and what doesn't
work?"
Carmen
