RSAS-IE Symposium Reading Symposium 26th Nov 2016

RSAS-IE Symposium Reading Symposium 2016

Theme: Managing Students with Reading Difficulties

Presented by the guest speakers and distinguished fellows of the Reading Specialists’ Association Singapore

Registration of Participants

(8.30am-8.45am)

Introduction to the Reading Symposium

Honorary Fellow Membership Award & Elected Fellow Memberships

(8.45am-9.00am)

Feature Talk 1: Reading as a Process (9am-10.30am) By Ms Dede Tham

Synopsis: What is reading? Reading is not just barking at print meaninglessly. If reading is a process of decoding for meaning or making sense of what is being decoded, what does the reading process consist of? In other words, what are the key components that essentially make up the reading process?    

Tea-break: 10.30am-11am 

Feature Talk 2: When Reading Process breaks down (11am-12.30pm) By Dr K.H.Chia

Synopsis: Why do some students display difficulties in the reading process? What are these causes? When did reading first begin in the child development? In other words, the participants will go on a short learning trip to explore the genesis of reading development and the birth of an emergent reader.

Lunchtime: 12.30pm-1.30pm

Feature Talk 3: A Measure of Reading (1.30pm-3pm) By Dr B.H.Lim

Synopsis: In order to understand the problems encountered by a child struggling with reading, a battery of tests has to be administered. What are these available informal and formal reading assessment tools that educators can use to find out their children’s reading performance? What do results from such assessment tools tell us about a child’s reading competence and hence, his/her reading competence?

Tea-break: 3pm-3.30pm

Feature Talk 4: Reading Strategies for Early Intervention (3.30pm-5pm) By Mr Eric Chia

Synopsis: The earlier a child is assessed if he/she is suspected to have difficulties in reading, the better the prognosis before the reading problem becomes a bigger issue to contend with. Participants will be introduced some of the generic reading strategies used in early intervention to help young children identified with reading challenges.
