    The Science of Reading: A Blueprint for Comprehension Instruction

    August 14, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
    Online

    It’s time to face the facts and recognize the reality that the Science of Reading does address comprehension and instructional practice. This knowledge can and should be used to inform the design and delivery of informed instruction for all students. During this edWebinar, we will:

    > Discuss what the evidence has revealed about the nature of comprehension and the critical contributors to comprehension
    > Explore a blueprint, an instructional framework, that addresses planning for the acquisition of essential language skills and knowledge sources necessary for making meaning of text
    > Share examples of instructional routines and activities that support teaching, practicing, and applying critical skills and knowledge based on the demands of the text

    Presented by Nancy Hennessy, M.Ed., Literacy Consultant; and Julia Salamone, M.Ed., Instructional Specialist, The Haverford School for Boys (PA)
    Sponsored by Brookes Publishing
