MRS. TREST AT SRS 145

The Reading Conference is an intensive course over a five day period for which students get 3 hours of credit. ANYONE TAKING THIS COURSE FOR CREDIT MUST HAVE COMPLETED AT LEAST 6 HOURS OF READING COURSES. Students must attend every class, arrive on time, and stay for the entire day in order to participate in the sessions, learn the material being presented, and earn all of the points available.


NO ONE IS EXCUSED FOR ANY REASON . Please do not ask for an excused absence. The answer will be no. This may seem somewhat harsh, but one must remember the intensive nature of the course: One day in this course is the equivalent of several weeks of a regular semester course. Anyone who misses a day of the reading conference will have his/her grade dropped by one letter. If you already know you will not be able to meet the attendance policy, you are advised to take the class another summer. The Reading Conference is offered every summer.

The conference generally consists of three components. The two Saturdays are spent examining and discussing the assigned text through lecture and small group activities. Each day of the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday sessions will begin with a keynote speaker in the morning followed by several breakout sessions operating all at once. That format will repeat after lunch. All of the speakers have been chosen for their extensive knowledge of literacy, and the breakout sessions have been planned to give the participants choice.
