The Texas Association for the Improvement of Reading (TAIR) was founded in 1948 as
teachers worked to make the teaching of reading a priority in Texas. TAIR Reading
Conferences are held across the state, bringing outstanding researchers, authors, and
publishers to pre-service and local area teachers.  The Denton Area TAIR Conference is made
possible by the University of Noth Texas, Denton Independent School District, and the North
Star of Texas Writing Project.















Join us for a fun filled morning with Yvonne and David Freeman, well known teachers and
researchers for their successful work with English Language Learners at all grade levels. Find
out more about successful strategies and scaffolding instruction to support all the learners in
