This three-part webinar series will address how teachers can increase the effectiveness of teacher read-alouds, shared reading of complex texts, and small group reading of instructional level texts for developing the comprehension of young children. The important role of discussions, vocabulary development, strategy instruction, text selection, writing, and engaging content will be featured. In addition, teachers are seeing many young children hit comprehension thresholds that were previously only visible among older readers. This webinar series will conclude with practical suggestions for implementing research-based comprehension interventions in the primary grades. Session 1 will address theoretical and developmental considerations; research-validated protocols (e.g., Dialogic Reading, Text Talk); crafting the best questions; and beyond the read-aloud.
Session 2 will address theoretical and developmental considerations; research-validated protocols with stretch texts (e.g., FORI, Wide FORI); and small instructional level group essentials for maximizing comprehension development.
Session 3 will address diagnostic tools for identifying needs; settings and providers; and research-validated interventions (e.g., WOW, PAVEd for Success).
