OPEN FOR LUNCH & DINNER 7 DAYS A WEEK TAKE OUT AVAILABLE 4510 South Harrison Boulevard 399-5050 OGDEN By Joyce Zabriskie Staff writer of The Signpost Professional educators, students and people who are generally interested in reading education attended the Utah Council of the International Reading Association held the seventh annual readerwriter's conference, Thursday and Friday, in the UB. Dr. Judith P Mitchell, a reading professor for the College of Education, was director of the conference. Mitchell said that this year's theme, which centered on teaching reading strategies, was picked by the visiting guests. Dr. Carol Santa, language arts coordinator from Kalispell, Mont, and Dr. Linda Gambrell, professor from the College of Education, University of Maryland, were guest speakers at the two-day conference. Some of the strategies were organizational strategies, journal responses, and what a teacher could do to engage students in learning and responding to the contents of reading selections, such as novels. Students learn through organization about power by thinking and getting students involved in personal issues, such as family, friends and feelings. This takes up about half the school year. The other half would be involved with curriculum studies. Reading and writing workshops would train students on how to pre-read by getting them to write what they think they know about a subject. Journal responses teach students how to ask questions about the subject and then to write their beliefs and observations down, in order to help them organize a story for retelling. Students also learn evaluation techniques in reading and writing goals, portfolio assignments and daily sentences for editing, etc. "The purpose of teaching strategies is to help readers become independent learners," Mitchell said. "We bring in professional people who are experts in their field and they pick their themes "It has been very enjoyable," Mitchell said. BUSINESS (continued from page 2) Walker said.

Then they worked with us to help get their formula where they wanted it."
