This is true in ELA and every classroom\, regardless of grade level or content area. If we want students to engage deeply with texts\, collect and evaluate textual evidence\, attend to important text features\, and make meaningful notes\, then we need to build their skills and confidence as proficient readers who regularly process texts in these ways. In this session\, participants will explore two reading tools designed to engage students and empower them to address even the most rigorous literary and informative texts. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				2025 IRC CONFERENCE INFORMATION
