ERG’s Expert Seminar Series is proud to announce an upcoming event with Kelly Gallagher on Monday, July 29, 2013.

Across the country, reading comprehension and effective writing are on the forefront of literacy instruction and there is no better person than Kelly Gallagher to bring us up to date with best practices.

Kelly will share his latest thoughts and beliefs about literacy as well as strategies for deeper thinking and effective writing for students in fourth through twelfth grades. He will guide us through how to be teachers instead of simply information dispensers and how to use conversation and collaboration to support and deepen comprehension.

His work, five published texts, and four professional videos are benefiting teachers and students nationwide.  “Kelly helps me teach my classes everyday,” remarked Faye Staten, English Teacher at McMichael High School.

It is an exciting time in education! The new Common Core Standards have educators “on their toes” and this is fertile ground for us to learn professionally. 

Kelly Gallagher, the author of five texts on reading and writing instruction for grades 4 through 12, will be added to our coveted list of experts who have clarified our thinking about reading comprehension.  Not only is Gallagher's work informative, it is also very practical.  Participants at this event will leave with tools they can use immediately to build students' success in comprehension and writing.

Each of the experts ERG has brought into our expert series has added new meaning to what we know and believe about teaching reading comprehension

We hope to see you at this important event.
