Cultivating Resilience in Reading Through Emotionally Intelligent Teach

Students are overwhelmed and anxious. They are showing up to class and not engaging in well-intentioned activities. How do teachers reach these students and re-engage them without losing patience in frustration? This presentation explores the complex relationship between affective factors and reading comprehension, tapping into how students engage with text on an emotional, motivational, and attitudinal level. This session will also explore how teachers’ own attachment styles align with our students’ attachment styles and how teachers can build on this knowledge to further student engagement in analyzing texts. Participants will walk away with practical strategies they can use to help students self-regulate in order to better their overall literacy
