SUMMARY:Tapping into the Power of Metacognitive Strategies to Enhance Reading Comprehension and Writing-Part 1
DESCRIPTION:This 2 part session is for teachers\, educational assistants or home schooling parents interested in learning practical strategies to help students simultaneously improve reading comprehension and be more enthusiastic about writing. This session provides practical strategies to learn more about how metacognition can enhance reading comprehension and writing. Metacognition provides a structured process for “thinking about thinking.” The National Reading Panel identifies metacognitive strategies as a critical best practice to enhance reading comprehension. Metacognitive strategies are also very powerful tools to support writing. This professional development session will be held over two consecutive Wednesdays (May 9th and 16th) from 7pm to 9pm. The PD will provide participants with an overview on how to use the metacognitive program\, Visualizing and Verbalizing\, to enhance reading comprehension and writing in classroom and one on one teaching environments.  \nThe cost is $75 for both sessions.  \nRegistration can be taken by phone at 780-434-3698.

SUMMARY:Board Games Night for Adults on the Autism Spectrum
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThe Centre for Literacy\, with the kind support of the Larry and Janet Anderson Philanthropies\, is delighted to host Board Games Night.  Held every second Thursday\, it provides an opportunity for adults or older teens on the autism spectrum to get together and play a variety of board games. A formal diagnosis of autism is not necessary to participate. \nGames at Games Night range from Role Playing Games to traditional board games. Participants get to decide. \nThere is no charge to participate\, but registration is necessary. We do this to ensure so that we can best address the needs and interests of participants. If you are interested\, contact the Centre for Literacy at 780-434-3698 or email us at info@centre4literacy.com. Jaime\, the Recreation Therapist who coordinated Games Night\, will be in contact with you to set up a brief telephone call. \nThe Centre is also contributing with the Faculty of Social Work of the University of Calgary to conduct a research project on recreation needs and social connectedness amongst individuals with autism. All participants will be invited to be part of the research study. However\, agreement to be part of the research study is totally voluntary; individuals are welcome to attend even if they do not wish to participate in the study. \nThe Centre is a friendly venue for people with mobility issues. There is plenty of free parking at our site\, and designated disabled parking stalls. Companions are welcome to attend. \nGames Night will be held every second Thursday. Here is a list of dates for future evenings for 2018: \n\nMay 3\, 17 & 31\nJune 14 & 28\nJuly 12 & 26\nAugust 9 & 23\nSeptember 6 & 20\nOctober 4 & 18\nNovember 1\, 15 & 29\nDecember 13.
