We have partnered with Launching Success Learning Store to make professional resources and children's books related to our workshop topics available to you at each session. Launching Success shares 10% of their profits with NSRC which goes to support our reading council’s donations to World Vision’s efforts to help children (nationally and internationally) get the school supplies they need for learning. Sandy and Barb from Launching Success are NSRC members and find NSRC workshops to be very beneficial to educators and administrators.

2008-2009

Three Tuesday Sessions:

Tuesday, September 23:
Dr. Sam Sebesta (U of W professor emeritus) shared how to engage and motivate students through language. After spending time with Sam, our ideas about literacy teaching and learning will never be the same! As WWU's Dr. Nancy Johnson shared: "It was the perfect kick-off session for the year and a good reminder of the significance of skills AND spirit."

Tuesday, January 13:
Michelle Hornof (elementary reading specialist, educational consultant and author) will be speaking about test taking as a genre to support the success of all learners. Michelle will share practical, proven strategies.

Tuesday, May 12:
