Is your go-to comprehension activity asking questions for students to answer? Do you work hard to maintain student attention? Interactive comprehension strategies are not only evidence-based instruction, but also age-appropriate for young learners.

Educators will explore activities that extend texts through social engagement, vocabulary usage, and writing about learning. The instructor will guide hands-on activities relating to the following topics:

•             Refining the teacher’s read-aloud practices 

•             Understanding how age-appropriate strategies of close listening is fundamental for                developing close reading skills

•             Exploring new approaches for questioning and vocabulary activities

Participants will receive activities and resources that are “implementation ready” to support students’ skills development by integrating the reading, writing and speaking/listening standards (TKES/TAPS 2, 7,and 8).

This class has been rescheduled to May 7, 2020
