Embedding Reading Instruction
When: Tuesday, March 31, 2025 | 2:00-3:00 pm
Where: Drinko Library 402
Registration: Not required
Have you been noticing your students struggling with reading comprehension, particularly when it comes to difficult texts? When it comes time for reading discussion, are you noticing more and more uncomfortable silence in the room? This workshop will describe some easy strategies to incorporate reading instruction into your courses to help students improve their active and critical reading skills. This will include strategies like previewing, annotating, keeping reading journals and difficulty inventories, reading texts like a writer, and creating reading maps. We will also briefly discuss the ethical use of AI tools to improve students’ reading processes (the goal being that students use AI tools as reading partners, not as tools to do the reading for them).

We’ve all been hearing about and discussing AI when it comes to the writing process, but what happens when we start to think about how AI impacts our and our students’ reading processes? This workshop will discuss how students are using AI while they read texts for our courses and how we might encourage them to use these resources ethically and productively.
