Reading Comprehension Strategy Instruction: Enhancing Understanding of Text
Reading is about understanding and processing; therefore, without comprehension, real reading does not occur. Learn effective comprehension strategies to help your students access prior knowledge, set a purpose for reading, organize information and make meaningful connections to narrative and expository text. This workshop is for Judaic and general studies teachers of grades 3 through high school.
