COURSE DESCRIPTION

When students have mastered decoding at a point of automaticity and read fluently with prosody, but still struggle with comprehension, what do we do? This 2-day seminar will provide participants with an opportunity to organize their thinking and explore instructional strategies that may support those readers who appear available to make meaning from text, yet face challenges doing so. We will use lectures to drive discussions, case studies to connect to real students, and explore how students can make their thinking visible to communicate their understanding or lack of.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

  • Understand variables that lead to and support reading comprehension
  • Identify target areas of remediation / direct instruction
  • Think about how to assess / tease-out student understanding
