Strengthening Reading Comprehension

All of our training opportunities are site-specific. That is, the content is tailored to the expressed needs of the participants, and it is delivered to your site.

This one- or two-day workshop familiarizes teachers of all subject areas with a basic working framework for reading instruction. Participants will learn a functional lesson design model that will assist teachers in formulating quality reading comprehension questions. These questions align with state standards and address four critical levels – literal understanding, interpretation/inference, critical analysis, and strategies.

Using this basic reading framework, teachers will learn how to develop and implement several formative assessment models that generate the diagnostic data essential to instructional decision making regarding reading comprehension. In addition, a variety of research-based reading comprehension strategies will be modeled.
