Description

Teaching our kids to comprehend and think strategically is foundational in literacy instruction. But we don’t reserve comprehension instruction just for the literacy block. We teach comprehension across the curriculum, every day, all year.

In this workshop, Stephanie Harvey will share the evolution of teaching comprehension, including new research and new perspectives on disciplinary vs. content area literacy, and views on complex text, as well as close reading. With a focus on nonfiction, she will model how we explicitly teach strategies through the Gradual Release of Responsibility framework to develop thoughtful, independent learners. Lessons and texts to build strong nonfiction readers in science and social studies will be shared throughout the day.

Ultimately, to have a major impact, we need to build classroom cultures that nurture collaborative inquiry through an active learning stance. The workshop will be highly interactive with teachers turning and talking throughout and doing their own reading and thinking as well. Student work samples as well as video clips of classroom teachers and kids doing authentic work will be shared throughout the workshop.
