Description
Multi-award-winning children’s author and reading motivation expert, Jeff Nathan, provides unique ADHD insight, delving into why the inattentive mind wanders (and to where) and why that often leads to reading reluctance. He then shares ideas for helping ADHD and non-ADHD students to absorb more information in class and how to get them excited about reading, using his zany humor to get points across. GR3-6 teachers will also be given free access to the most exciting resource for each of their students to get them excited about reading—a multi-award-winning interactive electronic book making each child the main character and hero at your school! (Reserved for attendees of this session only.)
