CHOOSING AND USING CHILDREN’S LITERATURE FOR COMPREHENSION INSTRUCTION IN THE PRIMARY GRADES (Grades K – 5)

This is a completed event.

Description:

This training focuses on how to select and use engaging children’s literature in the K-5 classroom to build students’ oral and written vocabulary and comprehension skills during whole group and small group instruction. Using a gradual release model, participants will practice using a variety of interactive read-alouds and follow-up guided practice to infuse vocabulary and comprehension strategies and skills into the classroom. Research-based principles of effective comprehension instruction will be fused with practical classroom activities as we explore fiction and nonfiction genres. Participants will leave with lists of titles and hands-on and practical strategies they can use to support the development of comprehension in the primary grades.
