Address Learning Challenges with Text Structures
In today's diverse and dynamic classrooms, educators often face the challenge of effectively engaging all students due to their varying reading abilities and backgrounds. This event directly addresses these challenges, focusing on the critical role of using Text Structures to increase students' comprehension of all reading material.
Understanding and teaching Text Structures goes beyond simply identifying and referring to them during reading instruction. To effectively and consistently use Text Structures, students must be able to use them independently to read with intention and comprehend unfamiliar text. At the same time, teachers work to assess their comprehension of students accurately. This event aims to bridge these gaps by providing educators with practical, research-based strategies and protocols to increase student learning and application.
This one-day training is tailored to empower educators with knowledge and skills to enhance their teaching practices, ensuring that all students can benefit from improved comprehension abilities. Join us to unlock the potential of Text Structures for reading all content area text, fostering a deeper understanding and a more inclusive learning environment in your classroom.
