Language learners learn the basics of reading in a second language quickly, but comprehension takes longer. Research has shown that learners can acquire skills in decoding, word recognition, and spelling within roughly two years, but more complex skills, such as reading comprehension and writing, take many more years (Connell, 2004).  Giving students the best education possible and preparing them for their future goals lies at the core of our education system.  Learning to read and reading to learn are essential to students’ success.  Teachers across Canada are continually expanding their professional expertise, seeking ways to support student learning inside and outside the classroom.  This workshop will present research-based teaching strategies intended in enhance reading instruction to develop stronger literacy skills in all learners.
