Discover how comprehension instruction can nurture a student's deep understanding of a text, being recognized as the very "essence of reading" (Durkin, 1993). This workshop is designed to provide 5-8 educators with the essential tools to move beyond basic strategy application and foster a deeper connection between the reader, the text, and the activity.
Participants will engage with a variety of approaches that transcend surface-level comprehension, leading students to extract meaning by synthesizing personal experiences with the text.
