National Book Week: Takeaways from the Read! Reread! Relive! Learning Session

I an grateful for the National Book Week 2023 Committee for inviting me speak about reading, books and literacy. I have been doing workshops and talks on these topics since 1997 and the research and trends show the constant need to grow and develop skills in teaching and facilitating literacy. Truly, we need band together to make a difference!

With these takeaways and comments from participants, rest assured that I will continue on. Fighting!

Key Takeaways

• "There is much to learn and to improve on in library services and programs, and it is with gratitude that my fellow colleagues are willing to also provide their expertise and insights to help ones such as me who are not so confident in particular areas. The Read Aloud framework is very helpful to me to improve that aspect of my practice, not to mention the other theories and advice discussed."
  
• "I have learned a lot from our speaker, and one of those is the differences of readers or the kinds of readers that enter and use the library materials. This is important to know because it helps libraries shape the policy or programs it has according to the diversity of its service beneficiaries."
• " Being able to see the different reading models made me want to pursue MLIS. I feel that there are so many library-related topics that librarians can work on with their community as its main audience."

Comments

• "This webinar is very informative, especially to school librarians in the grade school. I wish that more webinars like this will be undertaken."
  
• "PLEASE ANOTHER SESSION WITH MISS Zarah G.. or Another workshop on storytelling or Read Aloud."
• " Thank you for this kind of webinar. It is very short and well explained by the speaker. See you, next year! "
